Hello. You are from Russia, aren't you? Have you got an art education?

Hi C:
Yes and yes. I’ve studied in an architectural art school for kids, but I can’t say that knowledge acquired there helped me much. I was mostly taught abstract things (how to make a city or an animal out of a few odd lines on a paper and so on) and architecture.
So I’m mostly self-taught, since I had to learn human and animal anatomy ( also color theory, composition etc) on my own.
