Oleg Rogoznev was born in Moscow, Russia.  Studied for three years at "Souzmultfilm" Studios.  After graduation he worked for six years as a painter-animator.  Oleg began working as a freelance artist crating art in many mediums including miniatures (see miniature oil painting example below).

Several years ago, Rogoznev began design and page-proofing web based graphics.  During this time he learned vector graphics as a hobby.  Gradient Mesh Tool in Illustrator became a favorite tool to create his hyper realistic images.   In an interview Oleg Rogoznev by Iaroslav Lazunov, Oleg suggested a trick to use gradient mesh tool by not overloading with unnecessary points and lines.  Rogoznev uses photo references to create his vector art. Oleg states color sense can be developed by being aware of nature.  Start by noticing the color combinations in the natural world.  Oleg describes his process creating vector art: draw the basic image, draws the background separately  draw the object the add all details.  Advice from Oleg  when using Illustrator is "Everything needs time".



                                                                                                  



Oleg Rogoznev vector art drew my interest because of Old Masters quality of his art.  Old Masters techniques along with the Elements and Principles of art are excellent methods to hone in vector art skills.  In the same interview, Oleg noted the importance of drawing skills to help in vector art.  Learning composition, color, harmony and color will bring life to vector art.  Rogoznev uses lighting to help with the hyper-realistic effects.  Oleg uses his extensive drawing and painting techniques in his vector art to create dynamic 
hyper-realistic art.
