Expert Digital Illustrator | Vector & Freehand | Hand-Drawn Only

5+ years of hand-drawn illustration 🎨: only hand-drawn sketches (without AI), original ideas, and art that says exactly what it needs to say. I know that you come for living images, which have now become a sign of a high-level product, and the depth and sincerity of living illustration are valued even more and can truly be seen and felt, even in digital formats. I believe in values and know how to convey them visually. I truly root for your projects from start to finish! You can come back to me years later and ask to change or update something. I always share a piece of the magic of the process with you: I show you crooked sketches, and together with me, you choose which direction to go. Here is exactly what I deliver: - Custom Vector Art: Stickers, icons, and flat illustrations. Delivered in perfectly organized SVG/EPS files, ready for web or print. - Character Design & Mascots: 100% original, hand-drawn characters tailored specifically to your project. - Merchandise & Packaging: Print-ready illustrations for apparel, labels, and product packaging. - Editorial & Book Illustration: Hand-drawn artwork for magazines, workbooks, and publications. - Technical Vectorization: Manual, high-precision tracing. Clean nodes only, no auto-trace mess. Software stack: Adobe Illustrator, Procreate, Adobe Photoshop, Figma, After Effects. Send me a message, tell me about your project, and let's see if we are a good fit.
