Every artist has some role model, someone who's work made huge or small influence ...And it goes from time to time, from stage to stage work is developing, sometimes are several of them being watched, copied, studied..All that in helping and finding out your own way.
Love for Alphonse Mucha in my case goes decade ago. It was crowned with visit to his Prague museum and being able to see his Slav epic. Cycle of 20 large canvases, painted for 18 years but hunting him for a long time before he was able to start work on them.
Way he treated woman beauty, his delicate drawing, ornaments and imagination, but most of all his huge energy is something that made him one of my favorite artists.
This drawing is made under his influence.
Stages of drawing
first one - pencil drawing
Soft Inking with marker pen
Trying colors for hair
Thinking of background colors
More colors, first used wooden colored pencils but added some watercolor markers to make colors more vivid
At the end went back to sharp and bold some lines and colors
This one took longer time than usual, but it was huge joy making it.
Thank you for watching and feel free to leave comment.
If you are not familiar with work of Alphonse Mucha try to find out about this magnificent painter ..
outstanding work! oh how I wish we could one day sit somewhere down together and paint! :) I could learn a lot from you!

WOW, yes, this is great work! Mucha is also a favorite of mine - I love all of Art Nouveau, Jugendstil and Wiener Sezession (they are distinctly different from one another, but are lumped under Art Nouveau in Wikipedia). Also the Scottish Arts and Crafts Movement and their designs (which in turn inspired the Sezession in Vienna). I could go on and on about the Pre-Raphaelites , the Nazarenes etc - a art that has been criticized as Kitsch in modern days ......
Upvoted and resteemed.

Thank you for resteem :) Love Mucha but I felt in love even more when I saw his work in live..Yes all the movements are blend in one mostly. Thank you for link about Scottish movement, must admit not know so much of it, now i will explore it. Yes yes Pre-Raphaelites...great love too :) We definitely understood each other @thermoplastic.

Forgot to mention Gustave Moreau - should you ever get to Paris, you MUST see his Museum! Been there 2 years ago, a friend from the USA wanted to go there (I didn't know about it) and insisted we check it out - I was blown away.

I just found your page today, which explains why I upvoted and followed you today.
I am familiar with Alphonse Mucha and immediately recognized this piece to be heavily influenced by his work. So nice to discover it to be an homage to his work.
I have enjoyed looking at other images you create. I look forward to seeing more of what you do and also hope to see more of your process work.

Mucha is so iconic. I used to keep a folder of his paintings to use as my computer desktop wallpapers.
You really capture his spirit here, and the luminosity, but with your own spin added. And I love the texture on the leaves at the bottom.
