I got to watching Mars Express by @jeremieperin.bsky.social and it was fucking amazing! Finally a smart sci-fi about robots without silly allegory or dumb AI logic. My request for the evening was smart action movie and boy it delivered! Influenced by greats and highly original. 10/10! #movie

Good morning! This is how I'm warming up today. Still silly faces but in more realistic manner #sketch #digital #portrait #warmup #practice

Good Monday! Well, acceptable so far. To warm up I've resurrected this old fellow from my project #sidenotes archives. This old monkey may have lost his hearing but his mind is as sharp as ever so no matter the case it will be solved!

One of the biggest surprises of the year is Interior Chainatown. It's quirky, funny, well acted and smartly written. A rare case when the adaptation maybe better than the book because of its unique concept and view. Let me know what you think! But no spoilers! I'm only at ep. 7. 🤫 #tv #hulu

I always thought that posting on social media in many cases akin to animals marking territory. For quite a while now I was trying to be as inoffensive as possible and lost all the joy of sharing stuff in the process. Maybe here I will claim back that joy :) Stay tuned for more uncut stuff.

Post a pic of yourself to show the newbies what they’re working with. As you can see on this photo I for one work a lot with screentone lately.

This is one of my usual cooldown drawings. I use those to freehand something or try new techniques. Being confined by commercial briefs for work, I enjoy the freedom of just drawing for myself in the evenings. #cooldown #sketch #digitalart #drawing #illustration

Recently I feel more freely drawing characters. Less pressure about doing it "right", more making it as lively as possible. And What is the better subject for this than talking animals? :)

I've been told there's more engagement here :) Let's put it to the test. My name is Sasha. I'm an art director, illustrator and animator. Among other things. Pleasure to make your acquaintance!
