Illustration – Liliana (2024-02-16 – 2024-02-18)

Art trade with @amemcake of their character Liliana.

Design notes

The theme of this art trade was spring. For each image, the artist would draw the other person's character with a flower matching their personality. Options ame listed included lily-of-the-valley, forget-me-nots, gladiolus, and honeysuckle. Between these options and Liliana's color palette, I thought the blue and yellow of forget-me-nots would complement the purple in Liliana's design the best.

The theme of the art trade got me out of my comfort zone. As flowers were a major part of the image, I decided I would draw inspiration from the Art Nouveau movement of art. Because of this, I would also be drawing a decorative frame around the subject, in addition to drawing the unfamiliar subject of flowers. As I worked on the flowers and frame, I simultaneously drew and learned how to draw these elements in my own style.

At first, I had trouble bringing the foreground subject and background together. Eventually, however, I was able to bring both elements together to a degree I considered acceptable.

Ultimately, ame seems happy with the result, and that's what matters!

From an art trade I did with @vicerre!! We drew each other's OCs with corresponding flowers that we felt suited them either aesthetically or symbolically, if not both! With Quan's help, Pansies were what was ultimately decided for Solana! I think it the end they suit her very well, especially with the bright orange in her design. 🧡
