Hello, my name is Dasha, I’m a comic artist and illustrator
In my work I love using bright colors, coming up with interesting compositions with unusual perspectives, and drawing different characters.Here’s what I can do and how I can be useful:— develop stories and turn them into comics — draw series of illustrations — create full-fledged illustrations with charactersMy approach and drawing style depend on the goal and the desired result, so I can work in three different techniques while having a distinct style that remains noticeable in each of them.COMIC
«Draw More!» | documentary comics
About project:
«Draw more» — this is story about Julia, the founder and owner of the first life drawing studio in Zelenograd.
This is a story about how «adult» people continue to search for themselves, their path, and their happiness in life.
Created for More Than Anyone Asked For — a collaborative collection dedicated to people who took the initiative and brought something new to life
Character lineup: Julia, Zhenya, Sasha, and Anya
Here I use a technique of flat color fills complemented by crisp black linework to emphasize shadows and facial features. This technique helped me most in working with space, as well as in dividing the comic’s world into the two worlds of the main character.
In the final comic, I show that seemingly grown-up people, who supposedly know and can do everything, can also have doubts and keep searching for their happiness, be afraid to make choices, yet continue to love the work they are passionate about and that they love.
ILLUSTRATIONS
«Fish Whirlpool» | a series of multi-figure illustrations
Аbout project: A series of multi-figure illustrations dedicated to sea creatures on the ocean floor, swirling into a bright and wild whirlpool.
I began work on each poster with abstract spots, gradually adding smaller and smaller spots, then drew the linework for each fish, and finished the piece using various interesting textures, adding very small objects, and coloring the fish linework in bright colors. Additionally, I use a large number of textured brushes that help make the image more interesting, rich, and dimensional.
The final illustrations, through their composition and vibrant colors, convey the captivating atmosphere of a whirlpool of sea creatures.
The world of simulations | series of illustrations for floor lamps
About project: «The world of simulations» — series of three panoramas based on a personal setting, where I depict a surreal urban environment — a constantly changing metropolis bordering on otherworldly forces and monsters.
In each of the panoramas, I depicted a part of the city where the space transforms in one way or another: the city center, the waterfront, and the outskirts.
As a result, thanks to an unconventional approach to drawing space, I was able to convey the surreal nature of what is happening and capture the mood of my setting
FULL-COLORED CHARACHTER' S ILLUSTRATIONS
About illustrations: All illustrations were drawn as part of Artfight, an annual internet game held in every July, where players split into two teams and draw illustrations for each other featuring their characters from their personal settings
