Illustration

A collage of Maria's personal illustration work

No brief. Just drawing.

Illustrations where I experiment with texture, chase ideas, and express myself.

A pink-haired girl watching a blue carousel horse, saying Good boy A girl in a pink shirt with a bird perched on her shoulder, pierced by the arrow through her broken heart pendant A cracked hand mirror reflecting a fragmented face, surrounded by makeup and roses in pink A pencil study of a figure draped backwards over the stem of two poppies Two figures embracing among blue foliage, one merging into the other A red spider suspended on a thread, its body merging with a hanging female figure — fatal love Three mermaids packed inside an opened sardine tin labelled Mermaid Tears A winged cupid drawn in red pencil, watering a field of hearts A girl lying with two black cats beside a gravestone reading In Memory Of When I Cared Three line-drawn cats stretching — in the here, in the now, no worries, only meow A white cat held by teal hands, surrounded by floating eyes and lips A painterly figure in a red swimsuit kneeling in the sky, holding a cloud over her face A ribcage drawn in blue ballpoint with a dead bird resting beneath it — even the birds inside forgot how to sing A hand holding a spoon with a face drowning in the water it carries, in deep blue
