The Design

About Splash Ilustración

Las ilustraciones son un proyecto personal realizado por Maria Bradovkova. Su objetivo era practicar su creatividad y pensamiento abstracto. Están dibujados con técnica tradicional: tinta de color sobre papel. Las salpicaduras de tinta al azar fueron el punto de partida y la inspiración para cada ilustración. Observó la forma irregular de la acuarela hasta que vio indicios de figura en ella. Añadió detalles con dibujo lineal. La forma abstracta del chapoteo se convirtió en una imagen figurativa. Cada dibujo muestra un carácter humano o animal diferente en estado de ánimo sentimental.
