What does work on a project look like?


1. Work always begins with a signed contract, which guarantees security for both parties.


2. Gathering all the necessary information from the client and conducting additional research is one of the most important stages of the entire project.


3. The next stage of my work is preparing two or three preliminary sketches, which can then be discussed and  revised. 


4. Once the sketch is approved, I begin working on the final illustration. At this stage, only minor changes are possible without revising the concept. 


5. The final stage is sending the final invoice to the client. After payment, I send the required high-quality files.

My work

The illustration depicts the process of traditional hand tattooing using traditional tools. Drops of pigment are injected deep into the dermis using needles and remain there among the collagen and elastin fibers after complete healing. This can be seen in the histological illustration on the left.
