The Design

About Splash Ilustração

As ilustrações são projeto pessoal realizado por Maria Bradovkova. Seu objetivo era praticar sua criatividade e pensamento abstrato. Eles são desenhados na técnica tradicional - tinta colorida sobre papel. O respingo aleatório de tinta foi o ponto de partida e a inspiração para cada ilustração. Ela observou a forma irregular da aquarela até que viu uma sugestão de figura nela. Ela acrescentou detalhes com desenho linear. A forma abstrata de respingo foi transformada em imagem figurativa. Cada desenho mostra um personagem humano ou animal diferente em clima sentimental.
