FAQ

I have decided to make section with FAQ.Here are most popular questions that I got.Hope it will be useful to you)

Where did you learn to draw/paint

I taught myself.It has taken me many years of practice.I've been drawing since I can remember.I just need somewhere to place fantasies that were inside my head,so I placed them onto paper.When I realised that fantasies were not enought and that I need to develop a good technique so that I can turn my hobby into job I started to take a small paper pad and pencils with me everywhere I went.I would draw everything that I saw - people,trees,clouds,buildings and etc.It really helped me to develop as an artist.I really advise this for all beginning artists.

What materials do you use?

I use traditional materials: watercolour paint and pencils,pastel, graphit pencils,acrylic.

Do you do commissions?How much it costs?

Yes,I do commission work (if I'm not very busy).I like to work with A4 size the most.I work with pastel,watercolour,pencils and acrylic.Full picture with character(it can be imagine character or your photo (for example,you give me your photo and ask me to draw you like a princess or vampire or something else))and background in colour(forest,castle,cemetery)+ 1-2 sketch - it's about 250-300$.If you want only character without detail background (only colour on background - black,sepia,violet and others) it's about 100-150$.So if you want black-and-white work it's 40-50$.

Do you use your photos,models or references in your works?

Yes,sometimes I do.Sometimes I draw myself, but it happens only when I'm in the mood to do something like that or I need it for something,for example I made a picture with me for my site.Sometimes I use references when I draw something that I don't know good enough,for example I'm not so often draw wolves,so I need a reference to draw it right.

Can you do a tutorial?

I really want to make a tutorial!I know that it helps many people,but unfortunately I don't have a time to make it.I'm sorry.I'll made it one day,I hope.

Can you draw an artwork for free?

Unfortunately not,because this is what I do for a living, it's not just hobby.And also I need to buy materials (if it's traditional work) and they expensive enough.But I can to make low price (only payment for materials) if it will be a really interesting project.

Your style reminds me to /insert the name of the artist/

I never wanted/want/will want to copy other artists.I just want to do what I like and what I can.Of course styles can be resemble when artists have the same inspiration of their favourite artists or themes, or they work with same materials and technic.All that doesn't mean that one of them is copying the other.I think every artist has his own personal touch.

Are you model?

I start modeling at the age 18, but very soon I understood that I can't be a standard, classic model..I hated castings,I didn't want to do that other people told me to do. So I finished it,but when I was 20 I understood that I want to shoot again but with my rules. So I started to try different images, do experiments, work with different photographers..and then I've started to get the business proposals from differents companies and now I also work as alternative model.

I want to talk with you in chat/skype/ICQ about life/weather/politics/lady gaga

Please don't be offended but I have no time just to talk about something like my life or your life,weather and etc.I know many people think that if I have account on Facebook or Myspace,I must talk with them in chat or in private messages "just like friend".I get 15-20 messages in day with "hi!" "let's talk" "I want to know you better" "what are you doing now" "answer me" and etc.I'm very happy that my person is interesting to people and I always spend much time answering on questions about my work or on comments and notes.It's very important for me.But I just can't talk about something with every person that wants it,because It will take forever.

If you have business proposal for me, please use my e-mail anna-marine@mail.ru

Thank you for understanding.
