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.
