ABOUT ME
EDRAWINGS38 | Art & Design
Sofia, Bulgaria
I'm a self-taught artist and illustrator and I love to create ♡
Drawing has always been a big part of my life. As a child, I wanted to become an artist or an architect (and now I'm a bit of both!). For me art is a way to escape from the world but also a way to be part of it.
I like to explore different styles, mediums and subjects. My favorite themes are animals, surreal portraits and illustrations, emotions, our connection with Nature and Universe. I work mainly in traditional art (pencils, fineliner, watercolor), sometimes with a bit of digital post-processing.
My illustrations are featured in poetry books, and I also designed the covers for two of them.
I have some experience in graphic design too, with a few logo and packaging design projects.
"Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow" - Kurt Vonnegut
I hope my art will help to make your soul grow too ♡
