The Design

About Splash Illustration

Illustrationer er et personligt projekt lavet af Maria Bradovkova. Hendes mål var at øve hendes kreativitet og abstrakte tanker. De tegnes i traditionel teknik - farvet blæk på papir. Tilfældig stænk af blæk var udgangspunkt og inspiration til hver illustration. Hun observerede uregelmæssig form af akvarel, indtil hun så antydning af figur i den. Hun tilføjede detaljer med lineær tegning. Abstrakt form af stænk blev til et figurbillede. Hver tegning viser forskellig menneskelig eller animalistisk karakter i sentimental stemning.
