Viktor is a visual storyteller from Bulgaria, he makes lots of portraits and there's quite a bit of traditional medium on his feed. Some of his works, especially the covers, are digital and completely amazing, but pretty much the rest are pencil sketches in which there's no doubt at all he's a master. His experience is invaluable, in his career he has been a graphic designer, a creative officer, a novel creator, a freelancer and this is just a slice of the full list.

Corah Louise is a freelance illustrator, character designer and storyteller based in the U.K.. After looking at her art on IG I felt inspired by a piece of her bio on her personal website (link below) where she shares a concept that's concretely making my day better, she said: "Being creative is my connection to the world, whether it be through illustration, photography, writing or crafting - creativity translates over all languages.". I think those words are beautiful, I can relate to them and it brings me joy to see there's someone else out there taking art and creativity as the main vehicle to connect with the world.

Lara is an illustrator based in Vancouver, Canada. She paints lots of different things ranging from character portraits to cool sci-fi environments. The trait that for me distinguish her art from the rest is the exceptional use of colors. There are a few paintings here and there that follow the traditional scheme of things but the majority of them sport a good amount of odd choices, neon light colors, transparent tones or overlapping of shapes to create various opacities and crazy good effects. It's sure I'm attracted by the shiny things I'm not so used to see, but I like them a lot even after the first look

Jean is a freelance illustrator and a true master of landscapes, cityscapes or environment in general. He paints digitally and is always able to pull off energetic paintings with lots of colors and a wonderful use of lights and shadows. I love how in most of his works the brush strokes are clearly visible if you pay attention to them, but absolutely hidden when you look at the piece as a whole. This means he achieved the perfect balance that convinces your eyes that something is a unique piece, a flat surface, but he didn't do so through a real digitally flattened out color

Paola is a freelance illustrator from Italy, she mainly does character designs and has her own way of representing people through slim and long legs, rounded faces and flat noses. They all quickly become recognizable and share the traits to build up a cohesive wall of pics on IG which is very nice to scroll through. Her style on defining backgrounds is usually reliant on simple yet effective elements, completing the painting while staying on the same tones of the palette. Sometimes the subject does require a more sofisticated work or a contrasting level so there are examples of that too

Jo is an author and illustrator of children's books and graphic novels based in Ontario, Canada. So there's this thing with good art made for books: I love it and I immediately recognize it's made for books (or would be great for those). It's a special combination of palettes, way of illustrating, cuteness, I don't know what but it's just there. Without a doubt Jo's style and all of her feed would fit perfectly in children's books, no surprise many pieces do. I especially love animal pics cause her way of making them all look cute, lovely and happy is insane. They are the link that can turn a boring day into one in which you smile more
