Hi! my name is Tania.
I am a freelance illustrator and designer from Moscow.
When creating illustrations I use traditional materials, because they give me a feeling of the surface of the sheet, leaving the right to beautiful randomness.
I especially enjoy working on projects where I can make full use of my abilities as an illustrator, designer, and author. All the projects in this portfolio are designed and illustrated by me, and in some I participate as the author of the text as well. If you have any questions or would like to work together, feel free to contact me via email.
I love working with students and sharing my experience and skills. I teach illustration at the Stroganov Russian State Academy of Arts, lead courses at a private drawing school, and give lectures and workshops.
