Biography

Monika Kucharska / illustration, 2D character design ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I was born in 1988 in Poland. Over the last five years of working on my digital craft, I have had the opportunity to work as an illustrator on interesting projects. These included illustrations for children's books and poems. Currently I am working on illustrations for children's books, a psychological publication for children (both selfpublished by amazing authors), as well as on my own projects.

_______________________________________________________________________My greatest passion is creating characters and telling their stories, which is why they dominate my work. In addition to working in programs such as Photoshop, Procreate and Illustrator, I have started a Blender course which will allow me to sculpt not only in clay but also digital.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Beside illustrating, my big goal is to start my first job in the gaming or animation industry. Joining a team of creative people, brainstorming together, and inspiring each other is something I am looking for very hard and want to get into wholeheartedly.
