I am Jasmina Susak, a photorealism pencil artist and author, and this is my official website showcasing my original drawings, paintings, photos, apps, professional drawing tools, art tutorials, and services. I’ve been drawing, publishing my artwork, and teaching people to draw worldwide since 2014. Many of my original drawings hang on walls around the world, and it’s been an incredible journey knowing that my art inspires and motivates people every day.
My goal has always been to create drawings that look as close to photographs as possible, which led me to develop my signature style of photorealism. I record and narrate my drawing videos, sharing time-lapse sped-up videos on social media and real-time narrated videos on Colored Pencil Tutor and Pencil Drawing Tutor, a paid membership platform where I offer drawing tutorials and guidance. With a growing community of members and tutorials, I’m happy to share my style and experience with artists who have joined and improved their drawings.
If you have any questions or require assistance with anything, please don't hesitate to reach out.
As a technology enthusiast with a passion for coding, I designed and developed 4 artist-focused tools for myself and other artists, professionals, and beginners:
- PenPick - Color Picker for Artists - a web application that helps artists match colors from reference photos by suggesting the closest pencils for selected areas. I developed PenPick for colored pencils, graphite, markers, and pastels.
- Sketcher – Sketch Maker for Artists – a browser-based tool for extracting clean pencil lines from reference photos for white, gray, or black paper. It also offers a transparent PNG background, allowing ONLY the lines to be printed on any paper color.
- GriDraw - Image Editor for Artists – a grid drawing tool that allows artists to place customized digital grids over reference photos to achieve accurate proportions.
- FreeToolio - Free Tools Online – offering completely free online tools that require no registration and the tools work directly in any browser.
Below, you can watch a short video where I demonstrate how I use the PenPick Colored Pencils app to select the right pencil for my drawing.

Sketcher - Sketch Maker for Artists
This is how I manage to get my drawings so accurate, and why I built my own tool to do it. I used the grid method for years but was never truly satisfied with proportionality, because it often happened that one eye became bigger than the other, etc. I spent hours drawing and erasing, only to end up with a sketch that was still not perfectly proportional. If my grid was too dense, I damaged the paper with erasing a ot of grid lines and I can't trace because I can't see anything through the thick bristol pads I use, and particularly when I draw on toned paper. That's why I created Sketcher - Sketch Maker for Artists. It's my own web app that I built specifically for myself and other traditional artists and colorists. I use Sketcher to extract clean pencil lines from my reference photos with a transparent PNG background. This lets me print ONLY the outlines directly onto toned paper and get straight to the coloring.
Sketcher also create sketches for white, gray, and black paper, and because of the transparent background, where you download and print only the guidelines, it can be used for any toned paper. Sketcher is now available for everyone to use after joining. You also can become a member and use it for your own drawings and projects.
