About me
Artist with international experience and author of an exclusive portrait drawing course.
I offer online lessons and personal consultations, teaching how to create pencil portraits at a professional level.
Hi, I’m Alesia Krotko - an artist with international experience.
For more than 14 years, I’ve been creating commissioned portraits for clients around the world.
My artistic journey hasn’t been easy. Working with people taught me precision, patience, and deep attention to detail.
To make every portrait look perfect, I spent years refining my technique, studying hyperrealism, and developing effective methods to capture light, volume, and emotion.
Over time, I’ve created more than 900 portraits and sent my artworks to clients in 28 countries.
Creating commissioned art is not just creativity - it’s also a great responsibility. That’s why I know how important it is to have a clear structure and consistent process to avoid mistakes in proportions, shadows, and forms.
This experience became the foundation of my signature course, where I share my step-by-step method that helps students draw realistically, confidently, and without the fear of making mistakes.
I offer online courses and personal consultations, helping artists master portrait techniques, develop their skills, and learn how to earn from their art.
My approach is based on practice and real experience - before launching my online program, I taught dozens of offline lessons to understand the most common challenges students face.
That helped me create a learning experience that is comfortable, effective, and stress-free.
My courses are designed for beginners who want to build a solid foundation, as well as for experienced artists who want to refine their skills and reach a professional level.
