Life portrait sketcher by AnnaObert Illustration in London

CIAO! If you have come this far, it is because you are really interested in what I do. So I'd like to tell you a little about myself. I am a freelance and self-taught illustrator. I've been drawing since I was a child, but my schooling never had anything to do with art. I've always been told that school was for getting a good job, a steady job, but I've always admired those who went against the grain, who followed their heart. After graduating in Communication Sciences, I decided to study French in Paris. There, I began to feel my heart. Between the markets of Montparnasse and Montmartre, I met many street artists from whom I began to ask for opinions on my little sketches, drawn here and there in the city. One of them told me that I could sell them without too much effort because they were very special. But at the time, I did not give those words the importance they deserved. Then I moved to London and started to work in hospitality in events, getting the fateful permanent position. Two years later, the global pandemic struck and I finally started drawing with my heart. I left the permanent job, working part time in a bar to pay my expenses, while following my dream of being an illustrator. I live every day with a smile, I draw with passion and I love what I have become. All this, however, is also thanks to your support and I will never stop thanking you.
