Salena is an illustrator and concept artist based in Berlin. She creates characters, illustrations and art assets in the fields of marketing, games and music. On her profile you'll be able to find a ton of very very well made characters. To be fair in comparison to many other artists profiles it looks to me like every artwork she posts on her feed is finalized and perfectioned up to a certain level that's insane to maintain in the long run. Her favorite subject seems to be women, with an accent on black women in particular. All her girls look different cause she paints them with a high variety of clothing styles, haircuts, body shapes and poses.

Margarita is an artist based in Moscow, Russia. Her style is delicate, soft, smooth and all around very cute. I find her artworks to be perfect for illustrating books (which she does by the way!) cause they are very nice and calming. I think the calming part comes straight from the palettes she choses to paint with, avoiding bright colors and embracing instead a majority of soft tones. It's strange to say but even colors like pink, brown and yellow sometimes do feel like cold colors on her paintings, despite sitting on the warm side of the spectrum. I know it's just a feeling but she gives them just the right amount of strength

Angela is an artist focusing on architecture, sketches, environments and sometimes portraits.. If there's a dedication prize out there she should get it for the amount of paintings featuring the front view of a shop or a house, the streets and the city views. All of them are super accurate, very colorful, and overall fantastic! It's so cool to look at her artworks on IG and then swipe the pic to see process videos, but more importantly, references! These two elements are often there alongside the main piece and references always strike me cause I reailze she is truly capable of adding life to a city place.

Kaye is a Korean artist based in San Francisco, she does character design and visual development and approaches paintings with different styles and showing a ton of expertise. On her profile you'll find subjects of all kinds from everyday life scenes to realistic characters to cartoonish characters. Actually the characters are present in a few versions, there are some that look to me more like an oriental kind of characters, others that feel more on the western type of styles, and I find it difficult to explain the difference in feelings they give to me, I'm sorry... I guess you're gonna have to take a look at her artworks to see if you see them differently like I do.

Sara is an illustrator, background and color key artist based in Spain. Her profile is one of the best places you can find to have a look at some digital paintings, she does a lot of character designs and portraits with a clean toonish style. Every piece looks like it has been taken to the next level from her, starting from the lines down to the colors everything is perfect. The amazing works are super detailed, she knows how to play with light and use it to give the characters a stunning look and the color palettes she goes with are fantastic, if you scroll through her feed you'll find it colorful and inspiring for sure!

Masha is a freelance illustrator from Russia, she mostly works digitally and is not afraid to take on "big and articulate" paintings. She paints all sort of things but mainly it's about characters, people or animals, or both, doing something and living their everyday life. I said she takes on big projects because it's rare to see a flat background with a character on top, she is great at creating a welcoming environment defining and tuning up to the smallest of details. Which in turn means the illustrations take a lot of time but are packed full with cute "in theme" items or places.
