Pjotr Kovalenko is a portrait artist and illustrator based in Tartu, Estonia, specialising in traditional pen-and-ink techniques with over 15 years of experience. Working exclusively by hand, Pjotr’s practice is rooted in stippling, hatching and the meticulous detail of classic ink illustration, bringing depth, texture and character to everything he creates.
His work spans animals, landscapes, botanical studies and finely observed objects, but he is best known for his hedcuts, portraits inspired by the iconic Wall Street Journal engraving style. Built from thousands of dots and lines, each piece combines precision craftsmanship with a timeless, print-driven aesthetic rarely mastered in today’s digital age.
Every illustration begins with ink on paper before being captured through high-resolution scanning, preserving the honesty and texture of the original drawing. His portfolio reflects a deep commitment to traditional draftsmanship and a technical consistency that gives his work an immediately recognisable identity.
