Second Illustrator

Yordanka Poleganova



Yordanka Poleganova seems to be an illusive character! I've found it rather impossible to find any information about her apart from her Russian origin. 

Below I've added a few styles of illustrations that she does...





Her style which is done digitally is quite simplistic and mimimalistic yet this is in complete contrast to the detail in each of the backgrounds.  Busy yet very artistic which I feel compliments the simple lines used on the figures and clothing very well.

By analysing her style more, I found the the characters - which are very cartoon like and always interacting with one another - have main features that can be found throughout all her illustrations.  These include certain features such as the chin, nose, breasts and bums all being very prominant and pointed, while the limbs are all extremely exaggerated as well.  Futhermore, all colour has been done in block digital colour which is always bold yet the colours used in each illustration not only always correlate well together but they relate to the theme of the illustration.  Further study of this suggests that the themes used in her illustrations include Christmas, gardening and a beach scene and the colours used compliment these.  For example; the Christmas scene illustration incorporates different shades of red, while the gardening scene uses different shades of green and yellow.
