Hi!

I'm a self-taught artist with a several year long hiatus from drawing behind me. In the end of 2013 I finally picked up the pencil again and I'm slowly getting back. I prefer graphite, colored pencils and watercolour above other media. I would greatly appreciate tips and hints on how to improve my drawings!

I wish to become an illustrator, at least part time. Full time would be wonderful but I also fear having to rely on creativity alone for my part of our family income. So far my list of illustration work is very short, one book cover, one CD cover and this summer - my pride and joy - a childrens book that I've been working on for the last two years. I've learned so much and it wasn't easy. A full time career in another field, and a family with two children under 10 - but I did it and I loved it and I'd do it agan. In fact, I think there is another script waiting for me!

I post sketches and WIPs on Instagram - @ grafithjarta and intend to post finished work here (again!) and use it more as a portfolio!

All the best!
