I’m a 2D artist who genuinely enjoys turning messy ideas into clean, striking visuals. I specialize in vector art, character design, and illustrations that don’t feel generic. Whether it’s a coloring page, a stylized character, or something slightly weird and non-standard— I’m usually the right person for it. I have a soft spot for: — vector work (clean, scalable, satisfying) — coloring book illustrations (yes, I actually love doing them) — transforming rough sketches or even paintings into polished digital artwork — unusual tasks that require creativity, not just “draw this exactly like that” I work with Procreate, Illustrator, and Photoshop, and I’m comfortable mixing manual skill with AI tools when it helps reach the best result faster (not replacing the art — refining it). What I can do for you: 👩‍🎨 Create unique 2D characters from scratch ✏️ Clean, refine, and vectorize existing artwork 🎨 Turn ideas, sketches, or references into finished illustrations 🧩 Help you figure out the visual direction if it’s still unclear I care about the result, not just the task. If you have something interesting (or even slightly chaotic) — I’m in. Let’s make it work.

Greetings, I am a highly skilled professional 2D illustrator with over ten years of expertise in visual storytelling and character design. If you are looking for authentic, human-crafted illustrations to bring your project to life, I can do it. I never use generative AI in my work. You are welcome to send me AI images as visual references, but all final illustrations I deliver are entirely original, custom-made, and copyright-safe. For the last ten years, I've illustrated: - more than 20 children's books; - dozens of comic strips; - editorial illustrations; - 2D illustrations for websites; - vector illustrations for STEM educational materials; - business presentations with caricatures; - line illustrations for the explainer video for the real estate company; - character design for different clients, like Tea catering or the fitness center; - freehand drawings to illustrate the lectures for the professor of economics from one university in New York; - many illustrated maps; - a lot of urban sketches; - illustrated branding; - digital watercolor-style artworks; - and more, and more. Please check my portfolio in the Upwork profile. One of my primary strengths is the ability to build a cohesive world for your project. With my background in engineering, I ensure that all mechanisms, vehicles, buildings, and locations are visually consistent and logically grounded. I will design a believable visual reality for your characters to inhabit that truly captivates your audience. I work in Clip Studio Paint, Photoshop, Illustrator, and Figma using a Wacom tablet. I use digital texture brushes to give my artwork the warm, organic feel of real pencil, ink, or watercolor. I value clear communication, stay highly organized, and always respect project deadlines. If you have any questions or would like to discuss a potential project, feel free to send me a message. Thank you.
