The most important aspect of creating a place where you enjoy working is to fill it with inspirations you love. This will infuse your creative studio with personality, which helps you work with confidence and in comfort.

Vania’s studio walls are covered in works by artists she admires, as well as examples of her own work and toys ranging from Sailor Moon to Superman, the character who inspired her social media identity. Just because her workplace is full of stuff, doesn’t mean it’s a mess. Everything, including her drawing materials, is organized into categories.

What if you still run into creative block? Vania goes back to her sketchbooks. The ones she has spent her whole life creating and keeps in her studio. Some include unfinished sketches or floating ideas she can use to wake up her creativity at moments of difficulty, and to come up with new ideas for her commissions.

And if it’s all going wrong, Vania spends a little time with her pets to help her relax. Her two adopted cats give her all the love she needs to fight stress and stop questioning everything.
