Alexandra Dolgopolova

Alexandra Dolgopolova is an artist and illustrator from Togliatti in Russia. She uses a mixture of painting inks and illustration to create her work. It gives a really nice effect to have the extreme detail of the illustration contrasted by messier ink splashes. She work with some colour but tends to stick to monochromatic illustration which is relevant for the illustrations that I am creating.
Dolgopolova focusses mainly on faces but also works with some full body illustrations. I have not seen any of her work that strays from reproducing the human form but she does have a lot of talent for illustrating it.
