7 Years Ago, I Started Learning 100 Methods Of Drawing, Here Is One Of Them (42 New Pics)
I am a self-taught artist from Kazakhstan with no background in arts. I started drawing as a hobby in 2013 and learned everything by myself. I was interested in mixed-media arts and one of my favorite methods of creating artwork is cutting real tree leaves.
Usually, it takes up to 6 hours for one leaf cutout. I've spent days and nights upgrading my skills. There was a time where I literally slept for 3-4 hours a day. But I can say with confidence that all my efforts were not in vain. Since that time, my work has gone viral throughout the internet and last year, I had a chance to work with Nickelodeon and Disney. I cut popular characters for Nickelodeon and Nick Jr. and they used my photos on their social media accounts. Disney asked me to create something extraordinary for Maleficent 2 and Frozen 2 for their marketing campaign.

I decided to share my story to show people that anything is possible. It is tough to start, but when you love something, despite all challenges, keep trying and keep dreaming and it will come true.
My story is not a manual on how to learn drawing with different materials. This is a story about how it is important to do what you love! Only in those moments can you really achieve something wonderful as a result.
The best way towards success is to start to believe in yourself.

it looks a lot like hermione but i think it’s from game of thrones (it looks a lot like emilia clarke and less like emma watson, but i could be wrong since i’ve never watched the show)

This Work Was Made During Ramadan
Thank you Magnus Chase. I actually know what ramadan is. It's a month of fasting, reflection, and prayer in the Muslim religion. And not literally fasting for a month but they can't eat or drink during the day. I didn't cover anything and if I'm wrong about something your welcome to correct me.
You are absolutely correct, I used to live in Abu Dhabi (it's near Dubai) and the Muslims there celebrated Ramadan. If I ever ate during the day during Ramadan, it was never in public.

You can actually remove the green part with a toothbrush and either mild soap or toothpaste. It really only works well on this type of leaf.

Incredible work I wonder what happen when the leaf dry. Do you louse your work.?
If you immediately press it, either in a book / leaf press or simply between the pages of a book ( either thick or weighted down ) it will preserve the shape and most of the color.
