23.05-29.05. #portraitchallenge I'm Anastasia, born in Ukraine and living since 2001 in Germany. I started painting in October 2019. I've never painted or drawn before, except of things I had to do for school. I was inspired by a musician, who is also a painter. Suddenly I HAD TO draw or paint to express my feelings. It didn't work well, so in January 2020 I started to take drawing lessons once a week. Unfortunately because of Rona the lessons were soon canceled and I've started self teaching. In July 2020 I finally found this great app and now I'm drawing daily at least a quick sketch. I still need references for my drawings and I can't draw from my imagination, but I'll get to it soon hopefully 💪 I'm so happy that I found this beautiful community! 🙂 Thanks to everyone who likes or comments my work. I really appreciate it!
