Elina Yerkanyan
illustrator
I’m Elina Yerkanyan, a twenty-year-old artist from Yerevan passionate about digital and traditional drawing, animation, design, photography, and creative writing. I’ve been interested in art since my childhood, experimenting and developing my skills on my way. While getting some background education in the academic drawing sphere four years ago, I discovered digital drawing and have been quite devoted to that medium ever since. Seeing my digital illustrations getting published in one of the most famous Armenian youth magazines, “Yerevan,” last year was the achievement that made me realize that art makes my life complete and motivates me to refine myself and bring my ideas to life. My biggest goals for the moment are to get renowned in the art sphere, take on new inspiring projects and collaborate with individuals that share my vision and will help me grow as an artist.
Work Experience
"Bluebell Stickers
As a sticker designer and illustrator at "Bluebell" stickers, I experimented with my art style and improved my punctuality by being prepared to finish the project goals before the deadlines. Also working there helped me to deepen my digital skills, to become very familiar with illustrator job-advanced technical necessities and to use my imagination as a tool to display my thoughts.
My professional duties included sketching and coming up with ideas on a special sticker pack theme and to create and design the future stickers digitally in Photoshop. Seeing my ideas coming into life was one of the most pleasant emotions that I have experienced.
Overall my job took me two months taking into consideration the fact that I worked 3-4 hours a day

"Gyumri Stickers"
volunteer sticker designer and illustrator
Working as a volunteer sticker designer and illustrator at ''Gyumri stickers" was a challenging competency assessment.
For me, it provided the opportunity to master the Photoshop program, easily interpret ideas through sticker designs, and strengthen my stress resistance. In the end, I have created one full pack of stickers. The chance to take on an
internship and create a ready-made product for a sticker company was essential for me in an illustrator job activity
background and portfolio sample collection. It was also an influential experience, especially because after my work
there I got accepted at a paid job as an illustrator.
