Hello there!

Hi, I’m Alisa, an illustrator based in Moscow, Russia. I’m a freelance artist and a work-from-home-Mom. Over a last decade I was tightly involved in design. I used to do website design, stationery, motion graphics, illustration and even some cartoons.

Since my first baby was born and time became gold, I felt I needed to prioritize and make a choice. I also had an urge to make my baby’s world beautiful with my own hands. So, I sticked to illustration and children graphics. Being also a fashion addict, I started making some fashion illustration as well.

Ballet digital illustrations

Recently I made a series of digital illustrations of the amazing ballerina Maria Abashova from the Eifman Ballet Company.

Here is a new illustration I made recently with the wonderful Procreate app. This is a part of animal character series. Worked out pretty sweet. Speed drawing video included!

12 Autumn prints

Now that Fall is slowly rolling into Winter, I would like to share my Autumn art collection for this year. I am pretty content with it since I tried a couple of new exciting techniques and they worked just great!

Selling my arts online

Last couple of months I’ve been updating my art shops on different platforms. And registering at the new ones.

I had Etsy and Society6 shops for a while now. Things are really slow there. Especially Society6 is so saturated with tons of doubtful ‘arts’ that it’s nearly impossible to be seen when you put into your work hours and simply can’t produce and upload 30 designs per day. 

Coming back to blogging

Hi guys! Sorry for taking a long vacation from my blog – I needed some time for my other projects.

This year was extremely fruitful for me: I’ve got 2 books with my illustrations published. 

Designer comforters by Alisa Knatko

As New Year is approaching – it’s time for comfortable home decorations. Did you know I’m selling comforters at Society6? I really enjoy that platform and think that it’s cooler than any similar websites.
