About artist
From the childhood Masha was interested in drawing. Coloured pencils, charchoal, watercolour.... everything an artist could have was in her room. It was acceptable to draw even on doors, so there were no clear angle after Masha noticed it. Every team she participated, every school she visit, everyone remembered her as 'a girl who draws really well'. On the autoportrait (on the right) she sits, with the clear paper near, thinking about the idea she want to draw. Soon it will be a fantastic drawing!
At school Masha attended academic drawing individual lessons. Socrates, Gattamelat, Venus... Masha needed to portray all of them on A2 whatman using sharpened pencil and put all blicks and shadows. At that time knowledge about face proportions replenished and now to draw a portrait wouldn't be so difficult
Next step of becoming an artist was portraying famous people and body parts. Without academic drawing experience it would be difficult to convey volume and precision on flat paper.
Masha was interested in digital drawing. Pixel school supplied Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator cources, so Masha was studying hard for 6 month there. As a result the artist got good portfolio and at that time she was invited to student team to draw sticker packs!
Somehow the idea of sticker pack with cats came to Masha and she couldn't refuse to draw it. In the beginning she was searching for references, palette, poses of cats, useful tools. As a result 4 stickers with annoying, but sweet cats came out!
Base knowledge acquired at Pixel school helped depict packs of stickers for student team called studlifecrew
