Sketch book inspiration

Bored Panda is a leading art and pop culture magazine which is viewed nearly 100 million times every month. Our mission is to spread good news and highlight top artists from around the world.

My name is Gabriela Niko. I am a freelance illustrator and sketchbook artist, based in Poland. The main topic of my work is people - their beauty and the subtle emotions expressed in their faces. I create both traditionally and digitally, but the sketchbook is my favorite and most important tool for everyday studies, development, and experiments with art. This is where I can explore different mediums and styles in a quick, fresh, and playful way.
