anako - Daria Widermanska-Spala

I've just found a brilliant artist, Daria Widermanska-Spala, at -  http://anako-art.blogspot.com/.  Her Portfolio can be found http://www.anako.pl/.


 This artist seems to specialise in character design - a lot of her work showing development and thought into the character. Such as this image I've attached, you can see the amount of detail put in the outfit for her character. A lot of her work that I have seen are of girls - this is of particular interest to me as my character is also one,  so the softness of skin tone, and light, silky hair she manages achieve inspires me to experiment more with photoshop and achieve a proper - perhaps more realistic illustration of my character -(perhaps not as soft).


I heavily recommend looking at the 'digital painting illustrations' section in her Portfolio- it's filled with fantastic colour images, most are of girls, she manages to capture an air of fragility in the skin tones (such as with blushing cheeks etc) and expressions. I love the balance of detail, as the images themselves have an air of disney to them, but enough toning and detail to seem more realistic. 
Also - on a note about composition, the focal point of her pictures are usually the face and specifically the eyes, which are dark and deep, such aspects as the hair can be left to fade out/ are created with softer strokes - there is a picture called 'Lila' that illustrates this well - and is worth checking out.
