Here’s what I love to do:
Hi, I’m Sabrina, artist and illustrator from Austria and I’m crazy about drawing.
Here are some facts about me:
- I love drawing (surprise!) and I completely lose track of time when I am creative
- my favourite subjects to draw are people, animals and nature
- my weapons of choice are: pencils, watercolours, pastels, Photoshop and many more – and I like to use them all at once
How did I get there?
- I’ve been drawing since I could hold a pencil, like many kids do. But I didn’t quit drawing since then – that’s what makes the difference.
- I also went to an art college for 5 years where I learned many techniques that help me with my work today.
- Afterwards I studied to become a primary school teacher and music educator, because I felt like I needed to learn something that gets me a job.
- In 2018 I decided to follow my own path and do what I have always wanted to do – Since then I’m working as an illustrator and artist with many different clients and try to pass on my knowledge about drawing to people who are eager to learn.
When it comes to drawing PRACTICE IS THE KEY.
THIS IS HOW IT WORKS
It takes a long time to draw big pencil drawings. I worked about ten hours on this one. When you watch the timelapse video it looks like it was done in a few minutes, right?
- I have 9 avocado baby plants and I’ll always believe that they will grow little avocados one day (no matter how often I get told that they’re not going to)
- I love cycling to work because it’s so easy and fast. Moreover I can enjoy nature and the surrounding area, which means that I often look dreamily into the nature instead of concentrating on the bike path. Fortunately, nothing has ever happened to me 😉
- I quickly get bored when something is repeated or not very demanding. This applies both to my breakfast and my everyday life – I need variety.
Drawing
Well, you guessed it
I love creating things with my hands and I especially enjoy drawing with all sorts of pencils, brushes and colours on paper - The sky's the limit!
Music
Playing and singing
For as long as I can remember music has been a big and important part of my life! I started playing the violin when I was 7 and still enjoy it very much. I also sang in a choir for 9 years and I recently started dancing.
Cycling
Out and about
I take my bike to get to almost anywhere I wanna go. I love being able to stop wherever I want and enjoy my ride without frustrating traffic jams.
Taking photos
Collecting perfect moments
Don't you love flipping through old photo albums? I do. Maybe it's because of my very leaky memory, but I sometimes need photos to remind me of all the good moments! My 80-year-old me will have lots of happy memories to show to her grandchildren!
