Artist Feature Story: Tonia Tkach

Artist Feature Story: Tonia Tkach

Tell us a little about yourself, where you are from, and anything you’d like us to know about you!

I was born and raised in Ukraine. In the beautiful city of Dnipro, where I took my first steps in drawing. There I went to art school and got a master's degree in architecture.



Despite my architectural education, I realized that my great love is illustration. And I'm glad that today I'm working on illustrations for children's books, magazines, postcards etc.

I draw for graphic stocks and my artwork can appear anywhere around the globe. Now I live and study in the north of Thailand in the beautiful city of Chiang Mai. It’s a perfect place for an artist!

We’d love to know more about your beautiful artwork. Where does your artistic inspiration come from?

My inspiration is the environment around me - blooming gardens, mountains and forest nature, flea markets, vintage shops. I can spend hours and hours blowing through a city or a meadow, forest, looking at, photographing or sketching the details.

Any leaf, bug, bird or cat can become the character of my illustration. I am glad to share this beauty, warmth and kindness with others by my illustrations.



How did you end up with your current drawing style?

I drew a lot and brought all the experience accumulated earlier into my technique. I really love fine strokes with a brush, this is due to my architectural education and a large number of graphic works completed over the years of study.

Like wise with the themes for the plots, I was very fond of the history of architecture and the study of the dwelling as a subject of art. Therefore, today I often draw houses and household items, using vintage images.

I keep discovering new techniques and trying out new styles, but watercolor illustration is my favorite

What are your favorite/must-have art tools?

I constantly buy new tools, I love experiments, I even taught myself how to create watercolors from plant pigments. But for work, I need a minimum: good watercolor paper, preferably 300 density cotton, smooth surface; watercolor paints, here I have favorites, but absolutely any will do; synthetic brushes from sizе 00 to size 3. I also use my computer and scanner for digital needs, a small light tablet to transfer the sketch.



Any advice for those looking to improve their drawing/painting skills?

Perhaps I have three pieces of advice:

- Draw whenever you have 10 minutes to spare, bring a small sketchbook and a pencil, always carry it in your pocket, draw whenever possible.



- Watch a lot, the work of other illustrators, classic paintings, good movies, clips. Analyze images, highlight what you like, try to use it in your work.



-Take a course with your favorite artist. Today there are many cool sites with training videos, if you choose a good and intensive program, this can give a very high-quality leap forward.



What art projects are you currently working on?

I always have ongoing work for my graphic stock accounts, now I create collections of illustrations for spring and summer themes. I am also working on creating illustrations for a company that designs patterns for embroidery and starting to design prints for an Italian textile company.



What else is going on in your life currently? Any big plans for 2023

Last year was very difficult for me. Now I live in a beautiful place in the North of Thailand and I plan to devote the whole of 2023 to myself and creativity. I don’t have big plans, I just want to work, study and draw a lot.

  • Request for Assist with Crypto Recovery by contacting DIGITAL TECH GUARD RECOVERY

    Digital Tech Guard Recovery was the company that helped me recover the bitcoin that had been stolen from me in a scam years ago. At a time when I felt completely helpless and unsure whether I would ever see my funds again, their team stepped in with professionalism, patience, and a clear understanding of how cryptocurrency theft works. They guided me through every step of the process, explained what information they needed, and kept me updated on each stage of the investigation. What impressed me most was their ability to trace transactions I had long given up on and their determination to pursue every possible lead. Their support restored not only my stolen funds but also my confidence after experiencing something so discouraging. Looking back, I am grateful for their expertise and the sense of security they provided during such a stressful situation.

I was suffering from (HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS TYPE II) The doctors keep telling me that there is no cure but i believe that there is a cure somewhere and they don’t want people to get cured. I tried searching online if I could see anything that will help me and a comment on YouTube on how Dr Omofuma help to cure herpes with herbs and i also saw so many comments about him on many web pages on how he had helped and cured so many people suffering from HERPES , HPV, CANCER, HIV/AIDS, COLD SORE etc. So I contacted him through his email and I shared my problems with him and he sent me the herbs through UPS and gave me instructions on how to use it. It took me two weeks to finish the herbs and after I finished using it, he told me to go for a medical test, behold the result was negative, now I am HERPES VIRUS free. I just want to use this platform to thank Dr Omofuma for curing me from that horrible disease and also for exposing his herbal cure to the world at large, please you can as well contact Dr Omofuma on his email below. Email: dromofuma97@gmail.com On whatsapp/call his cell phone +2348084139974. Together we stand a chance to fight herpes.

  • I gave it all i had to make it work in my marriage but he still left me and our kids. His family fought for me and still nothing changed and he left broken and sad. I manage to keep going on with the hope everything will get better for us one day and he will be back to you. He is a great father to the kids and i had great belief i will see him return back to us. I was lucky enough to got in contact with Dr Isikolo who indeed knew how to fix the problem and he did and to my surprise, my husband came back home to me. I am still amazed how it was possible but indeed this true. The result of his work is assured to manifest after 48 hours. My husband returned and i know better Dr Isikolo is truly a honest man anyone can trust. He is good in his job of fixing problems between partner and have them get back together again.

  • I have had my fair share of emotional traumas and failed relationships. There is nothing more to life than staying hopeful even when we expect the worse. I was lucky once more when i met my fiancé and he was all that i ever wanted in a man. I was always treated right by him and i had always believed we are ending up together. Unknown to me that devil had struck even before my wishes came through. He was taken from me by another bitch and it was hell for me knowing he had left me. I was so sure that he didn’t do so with his clear mind because everything seems award when it occurred. So i had to look for help and I found dr isikolo who revealed to me that my man was hypnotized with charms by the said lady. He worked for me and got my man back to me and now we are back again. I cant be thankful enough knowing everything Dr isikolo promised was fulfilled and knowing the result of his works manifests after 48 hours. No lies about all you will ever hear about him and what he does. Contact him now if need be and be fully assured he wont fail you. Text him on WhatsApp via +2348133261196 or visit his webpage https://isikolo-temple.com
