Meet Your Creator
Krys
Hello there!
I am Krystaki, but you can call me Krys, and I am currently a university student. I am a self-taught, freelance illustrator who resides in Canada. Growing up, I loved drawing as a hobby and I decided to get serious about it. After years of experimenting, I realized that I enjoyed drawing original characters and fashion in general. With this knowledge, I decided to expand on my understanding in this field and I am confident I can share this knowledge with others as this is something people seemed to love! I love teaching and helping others, especially if it is in my field of interest. One thing I struggled with most was developing a style, but I was able to address these issues and I hope to share these issues to help others. I am thankful to have this opportunity!
