Anastasiya is the mind behind Astashova Design<\/a>—a Creative Market shop specializes on graphics. From a young age, art has been a passion for her and something that spent her life following. Today, we got the opportunity speak with Anastasiya to learn more about her creative journey.\n\"Screen\n

<\/span>Can you start off by telling us a little bit about yourself and your story?<\/span><\/h3>

\nMy name is Anastasiya and I’m from a small town called Polotsk in Belarus. A lot of things inspire me here including the small streets and cozy homes.\n<\/p>

<\/span>As an artist, were you self-taught or did you have a formal education?<\/span><\/h3>

\nI received a formal education in the arts at a media and visual design in Lithuania. This was a very interesting time in my life because of all the changes that happened: new country, new friends, and new teachers. What I loved about my education was that I got to see art from all around the world in another perspective. Everyone that I encountered during my time at school taught me how to always look things from a new angle to better understand and grasp it.\n\"creative\n<\/p>

<\/span>Out of everything you do, is there a specific medium that you like to focus on?<\/span><\/h3>

\nI really like hand-drawn illustrations the most. With this technique, I’m able to show my personality and style as an artist. It’s absolutely unique and no one can repeat it.\n<\/p>

<\/h3>

<\/span>What has contributed most to your growth as an artist?<\/span><\/h3>

\nPatience and hard work are the main things that have helped me grow as an artist. Sometimes I look at my past work and see many different ways that I could’ve improved, which pushes me to do better. Whenever I get constructive feedback and praise from the Creative Market community, it gives me the confidence to keep going and pursue what I love.\n\"creative\n<\/p>

<\/span>Can you explain the process that you go through when designing something?<\/span><\/h3>

\nFirst of all, I find inspiration object then take whatever tools I need to create a collage. For me, personally, my brain works better when I do a drawing by hand first to flesh out all of the ideas that I have in mind. After that’s done, I scan all sketches and finish it up on either Illustrator<\/a> or Photoshop<\/a>.\n<\/p>

<\/h3>

<\/span>How did you and Creative Market find each other?<\/span><\/h3>

\nOne my friends, also a designer\/illustrator, told me about it during a conversation that we had. Since we’re both creatives, we always share new interesting discoveries in the design world and Creative Market happened to be of those things. She has quite a successful shop here on this platform, and I hope to do the same as well.\n\"creative\n<\/p>

<\/span>What’s your favorite thing about being a part of the Creative Market community? Have you found it beneficial to you?<\/span><\/h3>

\nMy favorite thing about Creative Market is that it gives artists the capability to do what they love while making a living at the same time. I’ve found the platform very beneficial and it has helped me connect with like-minded individuals and see different fields of art in another perspective.\n<\/p>

<\/span>As a new shop owner, what do you hope to achieve on Creative Market?<\/span><\/h3>

\nI hope to find a niche where I can be a success and build personal relationships that will last a lifetime.\n<\/p>

<\/span>What’s one piece of advice you would give to your younger self?<\/span><\/h3>

\nI would tell myself to be more positive and have fun doing the work that I enjoy.\n\"creative\n<\/p>

<\/span>Keep the conversation going!<\/span><\/h2>
