It's time for a new pinned post with some of my recent work.
Hi! I'm Anya! I draw fantasy illustrations like these. I am open for work and also accept private commissions.

"Nuptial Rites". The illustration shows a wedding ceremony. There's a woman in the left side of the image. She wear a headpiece decorated with flowers and holds a large egg in her arms. There are stairs leading to an elevated stage with musicians playing lute on both sides of the stage. There's a skeleton in a festive clothes riding a white horse in the center of the image. There are festive robes behind them. The room is decorated with tiles and there are two roosters in front of the stage. There are some poppy flowers in the foreground. The artwork is colorful with much red, blue and beige.

"Angel's Whisper". The image shows a room decorated with tiles and murals with a pool in the foreground. There's a queen sitting in on the throne in the center of the image. There's an angel standing next to her closely. There are two white peacocks in the room and two swans swimming in the pool. The artwork is mostly grey-blue.

"The Dressing Room". The illustration shows a woman with long black hair sitting in front of the mirror. There are people behind her holding and brushing her hair. There are flowers around the woman and behind the wall in the middle ground. There's a statue of a man on the right and some flowers and herons near it. There are broken plates and vases in the foreground. There are eggs in some plates. In the background there are buildings that connect to each other. The artwork is mostly pastel with pinks, blues, turquoise and purples.

"Sojourn". This artwork is inspired by "Picnic at Hanging Rock". The artwork shows a ruin with young women sitting and standing around it. There are two teachers among them. They are skeletons. One is holding a chihuahua and another one is reading a book. The young women participate in different activities such as reading books, drawing, sharing secrets with each other, playing flute and admiring the surroundings. There are two dogs in the foreground and a bird that one of the characters is drawing. There are trees in the background and some rock formations. Two young women are walking towards the rocks. The artwork is mostly green and brown with some white and light blue accents.

Thank you Noel! I'm taking longer breaks lately and feeling like I wasted so much time sitting around stretching my fingers lol but I will take a short break from drawing in a bit.

Thank you! Yes, gotta be careful with it. I've been consistent with all the stretching and improved my posture. But I guess the only way is to take a break.

The pain returned this week. Now it's quite clear that it's in my wrist. I do bouldering and I think that combined with drawing really messed it up this time. Wearing a hard compression glove this time. Hard to draw with it but I'm getting used to it.

A photo of my hand above my ipad. I wear a compression glove with hard shell inside to support the hand. It was hard to draw with it at first but really forces me to draw from my shoulder. I think it helped a little.
