Hello!
My name is Anastasia Ryzhkova. Originally from Russia, I now live in Israel. I love illustrating children's middle-grade books and magazines, especially with themes like fantasy and adventure. My artistic style embraces a handmade feel, focusing on textures and airiness, blending the tactility of pencil strokes with the efficiency of digital tools. Just as words are chosen in writing, I thoughtfully decide what to show in illustration and why.
Before fully diving into illustration, I worked in various creative fields, such as the gaming industry, web design, animation, and graphic design. Now, because of my experience, I better understand each client's needs and adapt my illustrations easily to different project requirements.
Beyond art, my hobbies are birdwatching, reading, blogging, and crafting something by hand, from ceramics to textile art. These activities keep me observant and appreciative of life's smallest details.
