Here at Chulo we wanted to showcase the creatives with a Q&A to dive a little deeper into the Artists inner workings - today we spotlight artist LIDIA TOMASHEVSKAYA.

Tell us a bit about what keeps your creative juices flowing, do you search for inspiration or does it come naturally?

I think mostly lyrics of my favorite songs, nature, fashion trends, social media, patterns, works of other people, traveling

What's been your favourite project to date and why?

The Illustration that I've created for Yo Yo Ma's Bach Project in Prague, because Prague is one of my favourite places and it was a great experience to illustrate my feelings and impression of this amazing city  also I am a huge fan of Yo Yo Ma's music

Tell us a bit about your process, do you start off searching for reference and sketching?

After receiving the brief I am creating board with references on pinterest, than I am sketching till something looks like a good starting point to me, than I am making general work in illustration and finalizing everything in procreate adding the textures

What made you want to pursue a career in the arts and do you have any tips for up and coming artists looking to do the same.

It feels like I have no choice, I always loved drawing. It was my greatest hobby, I did it while studying, on the lectures in university where I've studied teaching, at my meetings before shifts in Zara and at my job as a waitress, My advice is to draw and to dream:)
