We had the distinct pleasure to interview award winning designer Maria Bradovkova about their original and creative Illustration design work. Maria Bradovkova is an award-winning communication designer, that makes our world a better place with their original illustration works.
Maria Bradovkova ("MB") answered Design Interview ("DI") questions about their award-winning work Splash Illustration. Interview questions prepared by Frank Scott.
MB : My main idea was not to plan but play. I had a method. Random splash of ink on paper. Observation, inspiration and reaction to what appeared to me from that stain of colour. I continued added details with crayon, pencil, linear drawing.
MB : I was wondering where this method can lead me. It was a challenge out of curiosity.
MB : I would like to continue and do more illustrations, experiment more with materials and technique.
MB : During october 2019 I was drawing one illustration per a day. I don't remember hours exactly.
MB : It is a personal project. At the beginning, there was a push from my dear friend, who suggested me, that I do a challenge, one illustration per a day, as an evolution of my previous work.
MB : For this project I don't have further busines plans.
MB : I wanted to challenge my creativity and see how my skills can evolve drawing daily.
MB : Sure, I was experimenting before with watercolour and linear drawing.
MB : Title links to the method. Splash of ink was the starting point for each illustration.
MB : I used ink — liquid watercolour, marker, pencil and white crayon on paper.
MB : Individual style that comes from traditional not digital tools. Unique irregularity of splash with combination with linear drawing that depends on it, will be not repeated.
MB : I wanted to make minimum input to the watercolour base and at the same time, to make the most of it.
MB : I was contacted by people working for the competition. They have noticed my work on Behance, and encouraged to apply.
MB : I have learned that my subconsciousness can pop up when I don't plan.
