Welcome to my open studio.
I believe that drawing doesn’t have to be perfect to be deeply meaningful. Too often, the fear of the "perfect line" stops us before we even begin. I create my guides to break that barrier. My mission is simple: to help you explore traditional materials in a relaxed, non-academic way.
After the warm response to my watercolor guide, I felt it was time to dive into the unpredictable world of ink. Whether it’s bottled ink, dip pens, or liners, this medium has a unique way of making drawings feel alive.
Growth comes from experimentation and self-encouragement. This guide is my invitation to you: grab a pen, let the ink flow, and discover the confidence that comes when you stop worrying about the result and start enjoying the process.

When creating a book, I first work on the table of contents to make sure nothing is missed. I try to make the process logical, so that the beginning of the book doesn't mention things for which there is no clear foundation yet. I cover the spots where sketches and examples will be with simple colored blocks. I create the illustrations for the book at the very end, once all the theoretical material is ready.
Sometimes I like to highlight the main idea with color, so that the reader notices it even if they are just flipping through the book instead of reading it in full.
Time to time I use AI to translate or improve the quality of my grammar, as English is not my native language. However, all illustrations are made using traditional techniques on paper.

I mostly paint with watercolor, but recently I was sent the wrong sketchbook by mistake. It was a store error, so they sent me another one. While it was on its way, I felt inspired to try something new. I noticed I still had plenty of ink that I’d bought with a dip pen a while ago, and I thought it would be interesting to play around with it, including combining it with watercolor. Everything was new to me: the medium, the sketchbook itself, and its format, which was a very narrow horizontal one.
When I was writing my first book, I had been working remotely for six years. However, while writing this second book, I changed jobs and started working in an office. It was a shock for me, but I tried to keep moving toward my dream. I draw while taking the tram to work. It doesn’t always happen, but I try to keep my skills sharp, preparing to create the illustrations for the book.
