It's my vision of Milady de Winter, also known as the wife of Athos, the Comte de la Fere, in the novel ,,The three musketeers,, by A. Dumas.

My favorite technique for black and white works is a sketch marker, I use 0.05 mm and 0.1 mm in diameter only. This marker draws by pigment ink with alcohol, that`s why it dries almost immediatly.

About working process:

After the idea came, I begin to collect the information, chose elements for a composition, then drawing construction stage begins on paper. My academy drawing education helps me to create human figures for my ideas. Anatomy academic drawing I have learned in University from a Gottfried Bammes anatomy book. In order to portray a facial expression or a movement in a most natural way, I use photographs sometimes, but oftenly it comes from the imagination. When the figures drawing is finished, I add clothes on them, every fold should be on it`s right place and characterize the type of textile.

When the figures drawing is complete, I continue work with surroundings.
The finished construction drawing now is ready to be carried on another piece of paper to hachure my drawing with marker.

The hatching process is the most laborious, because my finished work looks like lithography, only it was made by hand directly on paper. Moving the line along, I have to keep in mind what I am hatching now: a face, a hand, a hair, a type of textile (light or heavy fabric), is it a clothes on a figure or just a drapery, a fire, a water, a flower or a sky - in order to depict any surface most naturally. After the personages are finished, I can go on with surroundings, following up that every single line helps me to highlight the main characters and sculpt the another surface at the same time.

The main difference between this technique and oil painting is that here I don`t have much opportunity to correct, if something went wrong. Everything should be executed from the first time. It can be only lighten or darken a little in a small spots, that`s all. This is the last stage - to conform the whole work, to harmonize everything in it.

This artwork took me 3 weeks and can be recreated for a customer.

Irina Sumanenkova is a contemporary Ukrainian artist from Kyiv. Passionate about art from a young age, she believes that everyone has an innate creative side, often expressed through simple acts like picking up a pencil or marker. Irina chose to pursue this creative path, dedicating herself to developing a unique style that blends realism, symbolism, neo-impressionism, and elements of both. Her artwork spans a wide range of subjects, including conceptual pieces, wildlife, and fantasy. Her favorite genres include portraiture, landscapes—particularly mountains—animalistic themes, floristics, and illustration.

Irina holds a Master of Fine Arts degree and studied painting at Kyiv National University of Construction and Architecture. Initially considering herself a graphic artist, focusing on pen and ink on paper, her studies in painting profoundly influenced her artistic vision and became integral to her life. Since graduating, she has illustrated several books and continues to paint. Irina is also a member of the International Academy of Contemporary Art - Artlookone.
