Datharonka

Design type: vector illustrations and repeating patterns

Technique: hand-drawn elements, later digitized and assembled into montages using image-editing software

Date of creation: summer 2022

The central motif of this collection was first drawn on paper with a pencil, then refined by retracing the outlines with a fineliner.

This was followed by digitization — vector tracing and coloring — which eventually gave birth to Datharonka, the “bubble dragon.”

The two dominant colors of the collection became turquoise and fiery red. Turquoise symbolizes the dragon’s wisdom and calm, cool presence, while fiery red hints at the strength of the fire glowing within.

The main composition, accompanied by a few abstract supporting elements, was placed into the layout in four different background color variations.

After that, I expanded the collection with additional bubble-like motifs and patterns, created in a similar abstract and schematic style.

All designs are now available as Redbubble products — pics:
