Creative Fashion Illustrations by Ksenia Chernikhovskaia

Ksenia Chernikhovskaia Freelance Illustrator and Animator

I’m Ksenia Chernikhovskaia Freelance illustrator and animator from Israel.
I started a long way as an artist a long time ago. My parents sent me to an elementary art school aged 5. Actually, all my life is painting.

I graduated from the Ural University of Architecture and Design as a computer graphics and animation artist. In short, I am a 2D animator by education and worked at a cartoon studio for three years. We made movies for cinema festivals and commercials, but afterward, I realized that I wanted a different direction in my life. Sometimes I make 2D commercial videos. These are Promo and advertising campaigns. Last year we worked together with another fashion illustrator we created a very beautiful promotional video for a sportswear brand from Los Angeles. It was really fun!

Two years ago I finished my animators career and I turned myself over to haute couture. I love everything that is connected with fashion, design of clothes, and Beauty. Usually, my style is a mix of vivid colors and stylized shapes, and I like to use unusual character designs. For example, all my female characters have big lips and round face shapes. I consider this to be a very specific detail of my unique style. I’m trying to focus on the atmosphere of illustration, nature of characters, and story. The illustration is a kind of static art, it has neither noises or smells. There is only a single picture, and I need to be able to pass my thoughts and emotions to my viewers through lines and spots.

Now I work as a Freelance Illustrator, clients find me on Behance, Instagram, or come from friends of friends. My biggest goal is to work on advertising illustrations for a beauty or alcohol brand. So far I haven’t had any such commissions I wish to get them in the future. ~ @kseniya_chernikhovskaya
