1. Last autumn I found a Great Job (as I thought that time). Well, it was quite nice full-time free lance job in the web-development company, every single person in which is a full-time freelancer. I was supposed to be the only designer there. But after a month of the work I realised that the job is really too difficult for me. I decided to accept the challenge.

I worked there 6 months, than I realised that I sit at home 99% of tome. Almost every single second if I don’t sleep, I work. My back and eyes acke every day. And I have no satisfaction. The job was really coll, but, honestly to difficult for me to be thwe only Graphic Designer there. I decided to quit. It took one more month to finish all the current projects.

2. The second job just found me by itself. I even didn’t update my portfolio! Now I’m a UI Designer at the news360 company. There are a lot of rutine work, but I have a very nice working place not far from my home, nice collegues, nice salary and quite nice tasks – it’s rather interesting to draw for apps also, not only for the web. Becides I have the time in the evening – for my friends, for sports, for my boyfriend! It’s fantastic! I’m here only about month, but I think I’m done with this goal!

I stydy drawing once a week. I go to the short thematic courses with the small group of 5-7 people at jaroom.ru – the personal training courses by Jaroslava Klepikova. Now it’s the face drawing lessons. Jara is really cool teacher. She is young and funny, and she has an academic education. Becides, she is a professional artist with the background of the illustrator.

This is me with my oil-painting drawen at the studio.

Now I draw almost every day in subway while going to the work. I have about 10 minutes in the train for it. Usually I draw 1-5 small sketches, and that’s really GREAT! Sometimes I draw 1 image going to work and back home – on my iPad using Paper app or doodle.ly or art rage (rare), but usually it’s only small A6 sketchbook and liner or mechanic pensil.
