Welcome to my blog, today I’m gonna show you my new project – watercolor illustration, on which I’ve been working for a couple of weeks and finally I’ve made it.
You might not know that, I love nature – all plant and animals, so I’m trying to get inspiration from anything and everything. Recently I was obsessed with fruit drinks, those colorful and fresh drinks with delicious smell are really inspirational, when I saw this photo of strawberry lemonade on pinterest that was it, I decide to draw couple of glass pitchers with colorful fruit drinks in it.
So I started research, I’ve collected photos of drinks in glass pitchers and made mood board.
After that I started sketching:
And finally I painted it in watercolor:

Have you ever heard about zines?
Well, I’ve heard about zines a couple of month ago. Zine is a little journal or magazine, actually the word zine is short name of magazine. Everyone can make zine themselves, it can be adventure story, comic, sketches, coloring book, advertisement, or anything and it is kinda self-expression.
Some illustrators use zine as a reference book, where they can find essential gestures, postures or forms they need to draw illustration. Some do journaling and some illustrate their life with illustration journaling.
Here is my one of favorite zine, from my one of favorite illustrator Frannerd.
You can purchase this zine on ETSY.
I made a little illustration how to fold 8 page zine using regular print paper and want to share it with you, here it is: Continue reading “Make your own Zine”
I love underwater universe and it really inspires me a lot. I even got a board on Pinterest, which you can check out a get some inspiration. Under water plants, fishes and all the universe is so fascinating, and so unlimited, mysterious and some point scary, that when I watch the images, it gives me so many emotions, I kinda submerge and become the part of this universe. I guess almost all my painting are inspired by underwater mystery.
Inspiration for my earring was coral reef. I sketch the shape that I want my earrings to have, than I vectorize it, cut with laser cut machine and wrap some areas with colorful threads.
If you’re the one that is inspired with underwater universe as me please share you thoughts and thing you’ve made inspired by water or under water universe or anything related to this topic.
If you are interested in this earrings you can purchase them in my Etsy shop:

In 2016, when I decided to make accessories from my paintings I had no idea how to create brand, but I wanted that not only my accessories but also the name and was noticeable and memorable. I’m not a graphic designer and I have never had experience in this field, but I think when you want to make something really hard, you can do anything. Therefore, I started. I wanted my brand to have a style, as I had a painting style, which I call abstract surrealism.
I started research how to start creating brand. After watching lot videos on YouTube and reading various post I found out that first thing you have to do is to describe you brand with adjectives, think about costumers and target audience, and the main thing you need to have is MOOD BOARD.
I wanted my brand to be bright, colourful, fresh, for people who wants to be distinctive.
First thing that I did I started searching images, with the mood and colours that I feel when I was thinking about my brand. I made board on Pinterest, and after that, I have chosen some of them, which I liked the most. I created MOOD BOARD.
Then I made a logo. I sketched it with pencil; I have not made many variations, maybe because I liked it at the first sight. Inspiration for logo was my drawings and paintings. I vectorise sketch and add color.
The mood board gave me the sense of the brand and helped me to choose colors. The logo that I had gave me the sense of shapes that I wanted to use in blog or covers for various sites. After all this I made BRAND BOARD – which will help me with any project related to brand – Lancasta.
This is hole story how I made my brand, most helpful in all this was Holly Casto’s video about building brand.
Hope you enjoyed my post, leave me your thoughts, and if you have post with same content link it in comments, I’m very interested in this field.
In first blog post I want to introduce my self I’m Takuchi from Georgia, from early years I love creating things, I used to draw and paint a lot, after that I was taking photos, 
making origami and crafts, I make greeting cards for friends and special ones, making handmade leather notebooks and stuff like that. I have never shared my works in internet by social media. I love to watch videos where artist make some special things, painting or drawing. Therefore, I decided why not to share my works and make a blog.
As you noticed name of my blog is – Lancasta. I have no idea what that means. A few years ago I had a dream, where one shaman woman predicted me that I was real lancasta, In that dream this word meant – real artist, she said that there are a lot of artists there but you are the special one and you’re not a fake, you are real. Maybe it sounds silly, but I had a filling that it was more than just a regular dream. 
4 years later in 2016, I decided to make fashion accessories from my paintings, so I created handmade accessories brand – Lancasta. I’ve even launched shop on Etsy, and decide to promote it somehow, and the best way I think is blog, where people can see what does the creator of those accessories in real life, where she gets inspirations, and how develops designs.
I want to share with everything that I do, I want to make DIY videos, and show you how I do thing, that can do everyone.
If you like my blog and what I do follow me.
