EARLY ACCESS // nouveau mermaids

I fused together two of my biggest inspirations: art nouveau and mermaids! My number one artistic inspiration is Alfonse Mucha, and I stumbled upon some of his sketches and rough work which is even more beautiful than his finished posters in my opinion. You can see them here: http://www.muchafoundation.org/en/gallery/browse-works/object_type/drawings

So I chanelled that aesthetic into some mermaid art. It was so satisfying! Hope you like these!

Mermaid omg...i love it. Actually i did'nt know this artist Alfonse Mucha but my friend told me about him when we met one of his artwork in Paris and i like too. (i'm from France hey)

Thank you so much for this advice πŸ™ ! Will keep this in mind when I carry out my own studies 😊

hey rohan! My approach is just to observe the art closely and try to copy it. It definitely helps me to try and transfer the style onto a different thing, like taking mucha's style and putting it on a mermaid, so that I analyze the style more and observe more critically! I think in the end it's something more intuitive, since it's your own interpretation of the art style that drives the study.

Hey Loish ! Gorgeous Mermaids πŸ˜ŠπŸ‘ I was wondering if you have any tips for integrating a master's /a senior artist's style into one's own skillset ? Β Is it something that's more intuitive or are there specific pointers to be kept in mind while carrying out a style study ? πŸ˜…

Rohan
