This is my last post on this blog to let you know that my blog has moved to my website www.oksancia.com.
From now on I will be posting my new artworks, projects, news, reviews and tutorials over there,
but this blog will remain as an archive for my posts created during the period of 2007 - 2009.

I dedicated yesterday the whole day to sketching at Emmen Zoo.
What a great place! It is a big beautiful park, where animals have their territories and playgrounds. No cages... At some parts of this zoo you are walking among animals like at the Casa Americana and in the Birds and Butterflies Gardens. I love it!

I recently decided to take more care of my Twitter. 
It is a great tool for connecting with like-minded people,
to find a lot of inspiration, useful information  and, of course, to promote your art.

Two little pieces I did recently with colored  pencils and ink: "Fruit Tea" and "Mushrooms" both featuring a little sweet Gnome. 
The drawings are on their way to participate in the Anonymous Drawings exhibition in Berlin.
I hope they get there safe :)

Practicing digital drawing in Photoshop.
For this one I made a quick pencil sketch and based on it my vector outline in Illustrator. 
After that I experimented with digital coloring in Photoshop.
I like the sketchy texture :)
