Maxine is an illustrator from Germany. If the first thing you think about when you hear the word "storytelling" is "words" or maybe someone that is "speaking" today you might get inspired to connect the word "illustrations" too. I say that because it's undeniable Maxine's artworks are so moving they're able to tell stories on their own. I'm not surprised the focus recently is on book covers, children's book illustrations and editorial illustrations since those are really the places where a good drawing can make the difference

Ayan is an illustrator based in Bangalore, India. He masters the digital world with ease after years in the field, his pieces are truly amazing and if you're into tech, card games, tabletop, videogames, fantasy games and such you'll find out pretty much everything he posts could very well be the art on any product coming from the "worlds" I listed and you like the most. I personally adore all the locations he makes

Andrey is a watercolorist sketcher from Ukraine. He likes to travel and for this post he sent me a few pictures of pieces he made after a visit to Italy (my country!). He says he likes Italy a lot so I'm very happy to showcase the paintings here and share with you all his amazing works and a little bit of my lands at the same time! I think he represents reality very well and he uses the medium to its full potential. On his profile you'll find a ton of sketches and most of them are made on location

Deborah is Korean American illustrator and graphic novelist and her way of coloring artworks is just stunning to me. I'm not even going to say how cool the drawings are, but the colors oh my. The brightness I see in her pieces is beautiful, she can pick non conventional tones to complete an illustration and make it look so natural and so good that I'm starting to question myself... why can't I see things this way in real life? On her profile you'll also find a lot of black and white pieces

Vanont is an illustrator and sketcher based in Bangkok, Thailand. In his profile he shares lots of paintings primarily done in a loose style (when watercolors don't define crisp shapes and edges but rather stay a bit blurry, I like it a lot by the way!). There isn't really a main subject as he goes for landscapes, cities, food, portraits, animals and whatever else! In his food paintings he usually takes a picture with the finished artwork alongside the reference

Roman is an artist from Ukraine and what you're about to see for him is just an hobby (meaning I don't realize how he can be so good at it while keeping it as an hobby). He mostly sketches cityscapes or people using markers and his ability to use that specific medium is stellar. The level of detail, precision and the shades he's able to create with them are just fenomenal. Much like houses and streets require straight lines to be drawn his portraits also reflect it a little bit and the style is recognizable
