Egle Zvirblyte

Egle Zvirblyte is an illustrator I discovered on Instagram, I'm really enjoying having an Instagram account solely for my illustrations, as it means all I follow are illustrators/graphic designers/creative accounts which means a constant source of inspiration while scrolling down my feed. Zvirblyte's work popped up on my 'explore' page and I was immediately drawn to the bold and colourful nature of it! 

I love how wacky her illustrations are, and how her figures seem to flow so nicely. I think this is something I could take away from her work, as the figures I create tend to be quite rigid lines; I think I need to get lost in my illustration a little more. I also realised I only really seem to draw human figures, which could be holding me back; I almost think the non-human figures have a lot more character. The colours are something else I adore, although she uses quite a vast colour scheme in many of her illustrations they all go so well together. 

Working predominantly with shape can be difficult at times, but looking at work like this shows me the possibilities of it. It's nice to see work in context, as something I struggle with is thinking about how my work would fit in places, but this has given me some ideas of where it could. I think my next step is to think about some editorial illustrations.
