Artem Over
Artist and illustrator. Moscow, Russia
Artem Over creates in the digital space, as well as on walls, canvases, and paper.

Ira Paisley
Illustrator. Chelyabinsk, Russia
Ira is a part of Sketchar for over 3 years. She is engaged in creating content for the School section, as well as in training neural networks. When Ira take time out to draw for herself, she treats this process as meditation – so often defines her art subject, material, and technique to suit her mood. As a result, it may turn out both a "well-coiffed", neat digital picture and a quick mischievous sketch made with crayons.
