Hey, peps, (Sorry for my English in advance :P ) my name is Tsurkanov Alex and I'm a self-taught artist from Russia, based in small-town under the Moscow city called Zelenograd! I'm doing some anime\manga style illustrations sometimes mixing it with simple sketches of stuff I love. My dream is to become a real artist, and to make people happy with my art!

Story Time : So I've spent 8 years after school studying for business development major, but by the time I got the real job I knew that its not me , and that I have to stop and start doing something that my soul tells me to do, and everyone else around me, my friends from all over the world were telling me that I suppose to be an artist but not this business money making machine, everyone except my parents, haha. You see in Russia it's very hard to make any money by doing arts, so I kind of understood why my parents were against this idea, but every time I were at my workplace in office, my soul was screaming like crazy ( STOOOP NOOOO, STOOOOP it's NOT WHAT WE HAVE TO BE DOING AAAAAHRGHHHHHHH). So after two years working as Manager at the office, I finally found powers to tell myself and everyone else that's enough and that I am about to START living MY life. So since 1st January I quit my job and started learning, learning as much as I could about digital art, about being a digital artist at game companies , I learned a lot of different techniques of how to draw faster and smarter, I've tried so many different drawing programs, and I even started to get some commissions (1 or 2 I had haha) but what I felt when I finally got my first dollar earned by making art, was the best feeling what I had in my entire life. So now I'm opening this account to share my art and soul with ya peps, please enjoy my art, and I will do my best to bring you best stuff I got in my mind haha! Thank you for your attention, AL.T
