Asia Ladowska, Artist and Illustrator
She grew up drawing constantly, but stepped away from art for nearly a decade before returning to it while working full-time. What began as sketching at night after long days of work slowly turned into sharing her progress online, connecting with other artists, and building a supportive community one drawing at a time.
Asia has lived in Poland, the UK, Japan, and the US, and these experiences continue to shape the moods, personalities, and style in her work. Today, she creates art, teaches, and shares her creative process across multiple platforms.
Art is a journey, not a destination.
Her approach is grounded and practical, focused on steady improvement, honest creative growth, and showing the real day-to-day exercises behind making art, rather than presenting it as something that happens overnight.
Inspiration
Her biggest inspiration is Japan—its culture, animation, and exciting art books.
Tools
She works in both traditional and digital media to bring expressive, elegant characters to life.
