The Design

About Splash Ilustración

As ilustracións son un proxecto persoal feito por María Bradovkova. O seu obxectivo era practicar a súa creatividade e o seu pensamento abstracto. Están deseñadas con tinta tradicional en papel. Un chorro de tinta aleatoria foi o punto de partida e a inspiración para cadilustración. Ela observou unha forma irregular de acuarela ata que viu unha visión na súa figura. Engadiu detalles con debuxo lineal. A forma abstracta do chapoteo converteuse en imaxe figurativa. Cada debuxo mostra un carácter humano ou animalista diferente no estado de ánimo sentimental.
