First entry. Saturday, January 20
Hi! My name is Anastasia, I live in Kyiv - the capital of Ukraine and work as a freelance illustrator. Recently, I received a Bachelor degree in Art Education. I need to improve my English writing skills, so I decided to keep something like diary here. Not with thoughts and emotions, that's too personal and not necessary to achieve my goal, but with a 'where I went, what I did during the day' stuff.
This week I was going to a sketching session. We were drawing a model with clothes in game style. Usually, on sessions like these, you can draw only naked people but this last session was in the other place and run by other people so we were drawing a model in clothes and it was awesome! I really liked it, more than life drawing session that I visited this autumn. But I still need to learn how to draw figures (naked and in clothes) so I will be going to both events.
Today I was drawing an illustration to order. Unfortunately, I got up late and because of this, I didn't have time to finish it in watercolor. But it's okay, I'll get up early tomorrow and finish it.

We drew a model with clothes in (game style?). Usually, in sessions like these, you can draw only nudes but this last session was somewhere else and run by someone else so we drew a fully-clothed model and it was awesome! I really liked it, more than other life drawings that I made this autumn. But I still need to learn how to draw figures (naked or clothed) so I will be going to both events.

Hi! My name is Anastasia. I live in Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, and work as a freelance illustrator. Recently, I received a Bachelor degree in Art Education. I need to improve my English writing skills, so I've decided to keep a kind of diary here. Not one with thoughts and emotions, that's too personal and not necessary for what I'm trying to do, but one with 'where I went, what I did during the day' stuff.This week I went to a sketching session. We were drawing a model who was wearing sports clothes. Usually, at classes like these, you can draw only naked people but this last session was in a different place and run by different people, so we were drawing a model in clothes. It was awesome! I really liked it, more than the life drawing course that I went to this autumn. But I still need to learn how to draw both kinds of figures, naked and clothed, so I will be going to both kinds of sessions.

Your written English is excellent, Anastasia. There are no real mistakes except for articles - 'a diary', 'a stuff', 'the life drawing session' - and the phrase 'in game style'. I wasn't sure what you meant by that - I hope I guessed right. The other changes I've suggested are just to make it sound more natural. For instance 'achieve my goal' is good English, but a little too formal for the rest of the piece. Similarly 'received a degree' is fine, but you can also say, more informally, 'got a degree'.
Well done!
