Costume Illustrations and Sketches

Before starting university I learned traditional illustration skills at Fenomenarium, Pracownia Artystyczna and Wrocławska Szkoła Rysunku both located in Wrocław, Poland. I mostly use watercolours, coloured pencils and graphite for my traditional illustrations, but I also have good skills in using acrylic paint, oil pastels, soft pastels, POSCA pens and alcohol ink markers.

During my time at university I have developed my digital illustration skills in addition to the traditional skills I already had. I am able to use Adobe Photoshop and Procreate for illustrations and Adobe Illustrator for vector based images.
