Hı, I’m Paul Vornicov. I do digital and traditional drawing.
Hi there! I’m Paul Vornicov.
I do digital and traditional drawing.
A Graphic Design graduate with a strong academic foundation. My art is a unique blend of traditional drawing and a modern designer’s perspective. I’ve spent 7 years mastering portraiture, going extremely deep into facial anatomy, volume, and plasticity. After years of self-learning and refining my own style, I’m ready to share my methods with you. No boring lectures or well-known clichés — only practical experience, unique tips, and real results.
