From the author
I always wanted to share the results of my work with the world. As a child, I was in a hurry to show the princesses painted with pencils to parents and teachers. Later, having discovered digital painting and thematic forums for myself, I published everything there in a row. Daily drawing has become a habit, the volume of work grew confidently over the years. From a passionate amateur, I grew up in a freelancer and earn a concept art and the creation of characters. The idea of ​​this book, I have nurtured for several years and finally proudly present you the result.

I would like to see the drawings on these pages, you see the world with my eyes. Creativity was not always easy for me. I plunged into it in attempts to distract from difficult tasks in high school and at the animation school, and now it helps me to maintain a love of drawing when I am loaded with orders. Creativity is a deeply personal process. He not only brings joy, but sometimes devastates. I always try to enjoy my work and draw what I really like. In my opinion, the image should have the mood, emotions or something special. I hope that you will find confirmation of this in my illustrations
