Barbara Sroka is a polish artist. I discovered her artworks during Inktober 2018 and i was really hooked by her style. There is something from Moebius and Kerby Rosanes in her stroke, her drawings are populated with shamans, magic, monster, fantastic buildings and so many details that immerse you in her amazing universe. In a few words : Barbara Sroka rocks!

What drawing material and tools are you using?
I use fineliners (Micron, Copics, Uni Pin), acrylic inks from Amsterdam, pigment inks and alcoholic markers from Winsor & Newton. Sometimes I use acrylic paints, colour and graphite pencils too but I don’t like so much these technics.
