So excited having here Renata Krawczyk aka @rena.illustration aswering a few questions about her work. Let’s start the questions!
How long have you been drawing?
I have been drawing ever since I can remember; with different consistency though. For three years now drawing consumes most of the time.
What’s your process?
When an idea springs to my mind, I start with a quick sketch. Then I change it to a bigger format. When I have a draft, I fill it with details, piece by piece.
Digital vs traditional?
Both forms. The black and white works are made in traditional way though. With ink and technical pen.
How long does it take to create it?
It depends on a format. I like to have time to think the work through. I don’t like being in hurry.
Is it a hobby or your career?
I have always view it as hobby, but ever since I receive commissions for an illustration, it has become something more than just a passion.
Why do you draw?
I don’t know. I love it. It is like an addition, when an idea springs to my mind, the thoughts to draw it are haunting me until I start drawing. Later on there is only euphoria that comes from the drawing process and curiosity for final effect.
What inspires you?
I keep my mind and eyes open on everything that surrounds me, because sometimes the most
What is the proudest moment that you have achieved?
I hope that moment is still ahead.
What is the biggest obstacle that you have faced?
I face some negative thoughts that I may be not good enough but I think every artist feels this way sometimes.
You have one day to live, how do you spend it?
I would like to remain unaware of the fact that this is the last day.
How can people get in contact with you?
I don’t have a web site yet, but I’m working on it. So you can contact me via Instagram @rena.illustration .
Renata, her cozy office, her office stuff, her plants, her books, her coffee stuff 🙂
