DCCON👦🏽 Do you have some photos or links for the projects left? It would be interesting to see.
ДАРЬЯ👧🏻 http://www.kr-pro.ru/galerea-ghiro/ There you could find the painted ceilings. I’ve worked there.
And this is the building of Russian Chess Federation. The restoration of stucco there.
https://new.vk.com/im?act=browse_images&id=50855
And concerning the book, the illustrations to “Alice in Wonderland” in my portfolio are the part of my current project. Now I’m negotiating with the publisher. We’ll be approving the draft the next week. And then will be the long, but pleasant drawing process.

DCCON👦🏽 Can your works be bought? And if yes, where?
ДАРЬЯ👧🏻 You can buy them directly from me. You can fill in the order on work or buy rights for using finished works. I publish my illustrations here http://illustrators.ru/users/darya-rey
Paintings – only by order, finished works don’t stay with me for too long.
Currently my website is being developed. I will upload my works available for purchase there.

DCCON👦🏽 Great! And now I want to know, what Russian painters, designers or illustrators are you following? Who do you like, admire, or just simply friends with, and you’d like to share this with us?
ДАРЬЯ👧🏻 If to mention illustrators – I admire the works of Denis Gordeev. I can watch them for a long time.
Speaking of painters - Sergey and Maxim Sidorenko have great works. They’re very bright and positive people themselves, and so their drawings.
There is one painter – Vitaly Popov. He’s just the living embodiment of a painter. To understand this, you should see him with your own eyes and talk to him. He’s the landscape painter, he paints with gouache. His work with this material is just magic to me!

DCCON👦🏽 Thanks for those good recommendations.
And what foreign masters are you interested in? Maybe you’ve worked with someone?
ДАРЬЯ👧🏻 I haven’t worked with foreign masters yet. I like the works where great realistic skills combine with magic. Masters like that are Jean-Baptiste Monge, Edward Binkley, Robert Ingpen, Shaun Tan. There are so many painters whose works I admire. And I’m constantly opening someone new to me.

DCCON👦🏽 And how do you expand your knowledge (books, blogs, courses)?
ДАРЬЯ👧🏻 I often flip through the books on anatomy and academic pictures and paintings, apart from that – watching the books and catalogues with the works of painters and illustrators. I visit exhibitions and galleries, sometimes - art lectures. I’ve completed the book graphics course this year. And the main source of expanding my knowledge is watching: I watch the painting and think of how it was created, then I’m experimenting myself. Of course, internet is a vast source of knowledge and inspiration. I’ve found many interesting painters this way. If the painter whom I’ve interested in is keeping a blog, I watch over it. My knowledge-box is filling this way too.

DCCON👦🏽 Our interview has dragged a little, so, the last question to not torture you;)
What would you like to wish for the beginning painters or illustrators?
ДАРЬЯ👧🏻 I wish them to love their work and to achieve the goals they’ve set, overcoming every obstacles on the way. And let inspiration never leave them. And if it’s left (it’s a very unstable thing, really) – to not stop drawing. This is the difference between a pro and an amateur. Professional is always working, no matter if he has inspiration or not. So, draw, draw, and draw again! We learn to draw only by drawing!

Hello everyone! I hope you doing well in this summer time, and you’re ready for the next interview.
Our guest today is Darya Galimzyanova – the painter, whose works can be seen not only interactively, but also in the flesh, for example, in Russian chess federation in Moscow, but you’ll hear about this below, so stay with us!

DCCON👦🏽 How long have you been drawing? Where have you been learning?
ДАРЬЯ👧🏻 I’ve been drawing for quite a long time, since my childhood. When I was twelve, I’ve entered an art school in my city. Ever since then I’ve been constantly training and improving. After 4 years in the art school, I was studying for 6 years in Moscow State Regional University as a painter.

DCCON👦🏽 How to you draw the most now, in reality, or using the PC?
ДАРЬЯ👧🏻 In reality. I consider computers as supportive means. Use of PC comes down to processing of scanned drawings or photos of the works.
I’m lacking the feeling of the material during the work on PC.

DCCON👦🏽 So, the main part of the work is done on the canvas, then you scan the drawing, and… What happens next? What additional equipment and software do you use?
ДАРЬЯ👧🏻 I always work in Photoshop. Usually I adjust the colors, contrast, and fight with the bad effects of scanning (light or dark places). I’m cleaning the drawing a little, if necessary. Talking about gadgets, I have Wacom tablet. It makes the work a lot easier. Occasionally I draw sketches on PC, it’s very convenient when you’re drawing a complex design – it’s very easy and quickly to do manipulations with the picture (to reduce, turn, move instead of redrawing everything).
I’m also learning to use InDesign now, but this is a completely other story.
So, usually work is done on the paper and canvas. Occasionally – on walls and ceilings.

DCCON👦🏽 What additional web services or software do you use?
ДАРЬЯ👧🏻 Only those I’ve spoken about.
Photoshop’s functionality is enough for me. I don’t even know of any additional web services.

DCCON👦🏽 In what style do you like to draw? What motives do you like?
ДАРЬЯ👧🏻 I was studying realistic art for a long time, so my style and preferences have been formed from that. The most interesting for me is to achieve "as in real life" result – this concerns pictorial art, my main profile. But this approach gives its restrictions, but there’s no such restrictions in the illustration – there’s freedom for creativity and imagination. Illustration – it’s such a chance to misbehave. I prefer drawing charismatic personalities both in art and in illustration, it’s important for me to convey the inner world and the character of a portraited or an imaginary character.

DCCON👦🏽 Do you draw mostly for yourself, or this is your work?
ДАРЬЯ👧🏻 I manage to combine the meanings of "for myself" and "work". All that I do for myself brings money, and vise versa: orders give me the opportunity to earn money by doing the thing that I like. My work is my hobby, this is great!

DCCON👦🏽 All as Confucius said:)
What are the most interesting projects that you had or the most interesting teams you have worked with?
ДАРЬЯ👧🏻 It’s difficult for me to highlight the most interesting ones. I’m interested in the very process of creating the pictures, every project is unique and routine at the same time, it’s difficult to highlight something.
There was a time when I was working on restoration of paintings and stucco in the mansions, this was new and unusual, so I guess this was the unique and memorable project. Now I’m thinking over the draft for the book, this captivates me a lot. I guess, the most interesting projects are those in which I haven’t tried myself yet.
