The Punchy Visuals of Abigaile Hawk

"Well, i live in a small city, Petrozavodsk. I’m a self-taught artist and photographer. I started to draw over one year ago because I broke my leg and got fired from job. I’ve spent my remaining money on a graphics tablet. I’ve started to make art and photos for my friends and once I even got paid $5 for it. I have a lot to study, I am learning from pro artists and willing for perfection."

When did you first start drawing?

14th of september, you can see it on my insta.

Where does your inspiration and motivation come from?

I wanted to make art as gifts and wanted it to be my work as well. Also, i want to find to find more portrait photos that are full size. I am struggling to find a model and a place for work as well so those would be helpful.

Is there any reason why your art only portrays female characters?

Female characters are more popular and easier to draw.

Is there anyone that inspired you at all?

Alexis franklin, @henrikaau, artgerm and @aykutmaykut. The only thing that inspires me is that I have a dream. I want to take my mum on a trip like a tourist because we have never been abroad from Russia.

What is your favourite piece that you’ve made?
 
Pieces that involve ‘the bright side of death.’
 
Who do you think is the best artist there is?
 
My favourite artist is ayvazovski.
 
What has been your favourite moment as an artist?
 
Favourite moment is detilasation, especially in drawings involving eyes.
 
Have you ever given up on a piece?
 
I had some moments when i had the feeling that i can’t draw at all, like it is worthless and pointless. There are some similar things happening nowadays. as an artist you have to start from the beginning, like small and simple art, don’t expect too much income from it. Drawing is art, it’s not your typical kind of work.
 
Why do you think art is important in our society?
 
Art is a part of our culture that unites us, it’s also a way to share your inner thoughts with each other.
