Do you have social profile or page

Which is your first art work

First ART – Sakura

How much time you spend in a week

It depends. I may spend 8-10 hours a day working on a picture, and on the next day I may not draw at all. Which isn’t a good thing for practicing and upgrading skills. One should always find time to draw on a daily basis.

Tools of work

Adobe #Photoshop CC 2015
#Wacom #Intuos 3 A4

Do you have qualified degree in relevant field?

I have a Bachelor Degree in Graphic Design

What you do other activities in daily life

Apart from working on my pictures I also make ball-jointed dolls, and currently I’m working on my new porcelain line.
I also write stories, well, as a hobby. They are mostly fantasy-related.

Currently are you working with any company or freelancing

No. I used to work here and there, tried my skills in different spheres: in game development, art education, etc. But currently I mostly freelance.

Your Inspired Artists

A message for newer designers/artists

Well, I have one but very important piece of advice for you guys: never ever give up! No matter what, go ahead, don’t be afraid and do tons of practice.
