Hi gals, boys, and everyone. My name is Valentina, I'm from Russia and I'm a freelance designer & illustrator.

I create art (primary watercolor), illustration, design, and also I’m trying to survive as a freelancer, so that is what my blog about.

I was living in the middle of Cyberia, then moved to Saint-Petersburg to study Graphic Design in University. One of my first big jobs was as a designer and illustrator for board games company – social media, pre-press and all this jazz. Now I live in Moscow with my boyfriend and chinchilla “Bulochka” (bon-bon) and doing web design, branding, banners, icons, motion etc.

Illustration and icons for Russian cleaning company. Also made the website.

As a freelancer, I work on Upwork and 99designs, but mostly with my regular clients. Furthermore, I thinking a lot about making my own MOOC, but it’s just a crazy idea for now.

Right now I’m in the middle (not quite yet actually) of my 100-day project – I drew one new watercolor illustration every day (I’m on my way to 36/100 days, you can check it on my Instagram). So I thinking about post it here daily or weekly, and maybe create more backstage of the process. Also, I have a youtube channel, but my video skills are common, so it looks very amateurishly for now. Will be glad to hear your suggestions about all this stuff. I’m not so confident to record talking head, so I just posted speed paints.

Well, let’s start and see how it’s going!
P.S. English is not my native language so if you notice any mistakes - please let me know. I'm new on Steemit and would be glad for any comments, suggestions, and tips for newcomers.

Hi, octopaper! I wish you an awesome journey here in this wonderful community :) All the best

Ну, Вы прям супермощный блогер!

Думаю, акварели можно и тут дублировать - пусть люди любуются.

В конце поста не считает зазорным добавить призыв не забыть проапвотить пост, если он понравился, а то люди иногда забывают голосовать.

Спасибо за рекомендации и фидбек!
Буду постить акварели и призывать апвотить :)

Cool illustrations! Have fun here and welcome! <3

Thank you a lot! <3
