What area of drawing do you like the most?

I нежно love everything related to anatomy and character. It's interesting that the works in my portfolio are different: casual, semi-realism, digital painting, and drawing. One direction complements the other, the works become stronger, no matter what technique I work in.

What principles is your teaching approach based on?

My principles are simple, like a stick: I love to draw a lot. And I draw. I love people. And I teach. Part of teaching is methodology. And I do it.

Besides growing as a professional, I'm going to stay human first of all — sensitive to myself and others, subtle-ringing, dreaming, diligent and efficient, active.

And no matter what happens around, the bright side of who we are and what we create — that's always our support, air and, how to say it,.. life? We're alive, guys, and we want to live for real.
