My name is Alina Reva. When I was 3 years old I started to draw on paper. Since then, painting has become my life.

At the age of 7, I went to art school. I often took part in various competitions and even won prizes. I was a small child, but I really enjoyed it.

When I was 13 I graduated from art school. I haven't painted for about 4 years. I did other things: I went to school, I took exams, went to university. In my country, children enter university at the age of 17.

I started to miss drawing. Drawing for me is meditation, calmness, the realization of ideas. Remembering little Alina, I cannot believe that I still draw! But it was predictable because even when I got a fracture of my right arm, I learned to draw with my left hand. Now my right hand is doing well! The fracture passed after one month.

After entering the university at the department of marketing, I began to paint again. I saved money for a long time and bought myself a tablet. It was one of the happiest days of my life! I did not ask my parents for money, I myself earned it on part-time jobs. I worked as an art teacher for children, photographer, cameraman, marketer ...

But in fact, I was an artist!

My career as an artist started when I started to paint custom illustrations for clients. I love to create something unique and unrepeatable! I love drawing children's illustrations, realistic portraits, patterns, covers, coloring pages, and more.

In 2020, I found out that I can create brushes in the Procreate program. I didn't even think about selling. I just wanted to create something unique. My first set of brushes was a set of braids, hair for creating portraits. I spent over 50 hours creating the first set of brushes! But I am proud of myself because this is a really high-quality product. Soon I found out about Etsy. I added my first set of brushes and expected a miracle! A miracle happened! Many thanks to my first customer! The first sale gave me the confidence and strength that my talent can help thousands of people!

I have a lot of ideas and plans. When I create a new set of brushes I feel better because this is how I help people. I invite you to visit my store and choose a set of brushes for creativity! I'm sure your illustrations will get even better! Thanks for reading my story.
