About

I am an illustrator skilled in traditional, digital and AI-assisted illustration. My background in arts helps me create anatomically correct illustrations, using perspective, correct shading, and more. Extensive knowledge of art history makes it easy for me to depict architecture and clothing of different countries and epochs. I have been a Top-Rated freelancer on Upwork for over 8 years, specializing in freehand illustration across various mediums including watercolor, ink, and digital tools. Formerly, I worked as a Casino Marketing Manager and lead designer in Belarus.
