I am a 28 years old artist from Romania but I live in Belgium now. I love drawing animals using mostly coloured pencils.
Thank you for watching!

My suggestion to all artists save your money on A2 or A3 size mixed media paper if you plan on making medium sized artworks it saves space and money 💵. For painting abroad a 15 by 15 inch square will also work if you plan on making artworks in multiple mediums in some foreign country.

Thank you so much for all the tips! It's very helpful as I'm just now starting my own pet portrait business after making a few as gifts for family and friends and realizing there is a lot of interest.
I viewed your website for more information and noticed a small grammatical error in the portion where you introduce yourself. You say "I am drawing since I was 9..", should be "I have been drawing since I was 9.."

Thank you letting me now, I'll fix the mistake. 😊
