One of the inspirations behind Maria’s art is feminine beauty, which she likes to embellish with floral details and fantasy design. dimary.me
As an artist, I have a variety of techniques, tools and sources of inspiration for creating my artwork. I love exploring the beauty of the natural world and enjoy creating work that unites my passions for flora, fairy tales and vintage style.
One of the main inspirations for my art is feminine beauty, which I like to adorn in splendid clothes with floral detail and rich refinement. I’m greatly influenced by nature and I try to incorporate those features into my work.
There are so many ways to start an illustration. I’m going to take you through my complete illustration process for creating an Art Nouveau-inspired female portrait in Procreate. One of the reasons I like this particular art style so much is the balance of feminine beauty and natural forms, and Procreate enables me to create the wavy curves of plants and flowers naturally. I like the movement of the lines that give a sense of dynamism even to a static image. And my tutorial will demonstrate how to use these features and your imagination to create a colourful portrait with decorative elements. I’ll explain my tips for creating clean line-art and present a step-by-step guide to my colouring process.
I hope you enjoy the process and the final result meets your expectations. Good luck and don’t be afraid to use your imagination to create something beautiful!
