Hi, guys!
So, as I mentioned in my introduction entry I have graduated from the University recently. I have a bachelor degree in Fine arts now and in my diploma is also written that I can work as an art teacher in regular schools, art schools, art studios etc. Despite the disadvantages of our higher education, there were a few uni tasks of my personal interests during different semesters and the point of one of these was to create book illustrations.
I choose the book I really like a lot when I was a child. It was about the adventures of little chicken by famous Ukrainian poet Tamara Kolomiets.
I designed my own characters. I was trying to find some early sketches recently but unfortunately didn’t found them. Anyways, I don’t think they were interesting because I remember that we haven’t much time for this project and it must be finished pretty soon so I did REALLY inaccurate concept sketches :)

Yes, the book was pretty small, but it was not the point to create a big masterpiece. This was like a little training before some bigger stuff. In my case, it was my diploma work or final project, and I will write about it soon, so stay tuned!
That is really cool stuff. Great to see artitst from across the globe doing great things, and posting it on the lovely Steemit. Keep up the great work!
Thank you very much for kind words, it's a pleasure to 'hear' them! :)
Awesome work Anastasia. Upvoted and Following.
Thank you very much! :)
I think your book shows a lot of personality and your love for kids and childrens books. Congrats on your Art degree. I graduated from Uiowa Art school in 2009 and I recently decided to try and make a living off of websites like steemit and youtube. Being an artist in the 21 century is a very open field where you can take all sorts of different venues. I'm choosing to be a free lancer who plays arounf with cryptocurrency and social media. That's just my take on art in America though. Good luck with your career as an artist and I will follow and upvote your posts about art! Btw, you one hot looking girl..
Thank you for kind words! So inspirational! Was really interesting to read the comment. I like meeting people who studied art in different countries, I like comparing educational systems because I worked as an art teacher at regular school some time ago. I agree that now we have really the opportunity to make money as an artist but the problem is how to find your own audience, how to become at least mini-popular artist etc. I plan to be also a freelancer, my classmates think I will not succeed but we'll see it in the future, at least I'm having now a chance to try.
Thanks, wish you luck too :)
I see that you have put in a lot of time and creativity in this little book. You have done a wonderful job. Congraulations.
Thank you for kind words!
Excellent work. Very talented! I really love the style you have developed. Looking forward to seeing more.
