Hello everyone! I hope you doing well in this summer time, and you’re ready for the next interview.
Our guest today is Darya Galimzyanova – the painter, whose works can be seen not only interactively, but also in the flesh, for example, in Russian chess federation in Moscow, but you’ll hear about this below, so stay with us!
DCCON👦🏽 How long have you been drawing? Where have you been learning?
ДАРЬЯ👧🏻 I’ve been drawing for quite a long time, since my childhood. When I was twelve, I’ve entered an art school in my city. Ever since then I’ve been constantly training and improving. After 4 years in the art school, I was studying for 6 years in Moscow State Regional University as a painter.
DCCON👦🏽 How to you draw the most now, in reality, or using the PC?
ДАРЬЯ👧🏻 In reality. I consider computers as supportive means. Use of PC comes down to processing of scanned drawings or photos of the works.
I’m lacking the feeling of the material during the work on PC.
DCCON👦🏽 So, the main part of the work is done on the canvas, then you scan the drawing, and… What happens next? What additional equipment and software do you use?
ДАРЬЯ👧🏻 I always work in Photoshop. Usually I adjust the colors, contrast, and fight with the bad effects of scanning (light or dark places). I’m cleaning the drawing a little, if necessary. Talking about gadgets, I have Wacom tablet. It makes the work a lot easier. Occasionally I draw sketches on PC, it’s very convenient when you’re drawing a complex design – it’s very easy and quickly to do manipulations with the picture (to reduce, turn, move instead of redrawing everything).
I’m also learning to use InDesign now, but this is a completely other story.
So, usually work is done on the paper and canvas. Occasionally – on walls and ceilings.
DCCON👦🏽 What additional web services or software do you use?
ДАРЬЯ👧🏻 Only those I’ve spoken about.
Photoshop’s functionality is enough for me. I don’t even know of any additional web services.
DCCON👦🏽 In what style do you like to draw? What motives do you like?
ДАРЬЯ👧🏻 I was studying realistic art for a long time, so my style and preferences have been formed from that. The most interesting for me is to achieve "as in real life" result – this concerns pictorial art, my main profile. But this approach gives its restrictions, but there’s no such restrictions in the illustration – there’s freedom for creativity and imagination. Illustration – it’s such a chance to misbehave. I prefer drawing charismatic personalities both in art and in illustration, it’s important for me to convey the inner world and the character of a portraited or an imaginary character.
DCCON👦🏽 Do you draw mostly for yourself, or this is your work?
ДАРЬЯ👧🏻 I manage to combine the meanings of "for myself" and "work". All that I do for myself brings money, and vise versa: orders give me the opportunity to earn money by doing the thing that I like. My work is my hobby, this is great!
DCCON👦🏽 All as Confucius said:)
What are the most interesting projects that you had or the most interesting teams you have worked with?
ДАРЬЯ👧🏻 It’s difficult for me to highlight the most interesting ones. I’m interested in the very process of creating the pictures, every project is unique and routine at the same time, it’s difficult to highlight something.
There was a time when I was working on restoration of paintings and stucco in the mansions, this was new and unusual, so I guess this was the unique and memorable project. Now I’m thinking over the draft for the book, this captivates me a lot. I guess, the most interesting projects are those in which I haven’t tried myself yet.
