Gorcha
Hi! My name is Silvia Gorchakova, but everybody calls me Gorcha. I'm an illustrator, and tattoo artist from Latvia, Riga, and I will be your teacher! I've studied Fine Arts at The Polytechnic University of Valencia, and I've been working as a full-time artist for several years. My main inspirations are cartoons from 00, fetish fashion, Baroque still life, Junti Ito, and anime.
I've always felt pressure to decide what path I should choose as an artist because I thought that simply drawing what makes me happy wasn't going to be enough. But I'm glad I never gave up creating and expressing myself through eerie and sensual illustrations because that was what ended up being my path. I'm glad that I could connect to a lot of people through my art and inspire them to create.
My journey with digital art was very... bumpy. I remember being stuck for almost 7 or 8 years, not portraying what I imagine when drawing digitally. Of course, my general art skills were much lower than now, but I clearly remember being restrained by the digital medium itself. All my attempts to approach it were far from what I wanted to achieve.
My current goal is to help people who feel the same as I did. I want to share with you all the knowledge I wish I knew back then. Whenever I get questions on social media about how to paint this or draw that, I always try to help and explain what I do. But being able to show my full process and teach you through this platform will be so much more efficient and fun! I hope you will enjoy this class!
