Fairytales In Magical Photos by Margarita Kareva
on 500px
Margarita Kareva is a Russia-based photographer who specializes in fantasy art photography. Her dream-like photographs capture pure beauty in a way that few others can. She ads surreal elements to her shots that make the photographs really stand out, combining Photoshop manipulation with real props. In an interview with Rosphoto she states that she finds inspiration for all her photoshoots in fantasy books.
Song of the Sea-concept art
Tomm Moore is amazing
(There’s a lot of material I couldn’t add, but I think this just shows how amazing this art is)
I studied Photography at the School of Arts of Toledo, and that lead me to venture into the world of arts. I started the technique of collage a short time ago. I could say that I’m self-taught in terms of art because I did not have deep knowledge about this art form. Despite not having the foundation where I could build, I have improved my works little by little, looking for my personal style.

Oh heck, hello haha um honestly I don’t really know what I’m doing, but I’ll try to answer as best I can!
I like to take pictures of my face and practice from my own eyes. here’s one and Here’s another one (this one’s a few years back heck)
those ones i just traced a base line over the pictures and then eyeballed the coloring. That’s really useful for getting shapes and angles down when the head is turned. good for drawing the same eye with different expressions and things.
I’m actually doing one right now for some new practice. this one I didn’t do a base sketch at all, I just started SLAPPIN’ color on there. I’ll post progress pictures once I finish it.
ALTHOUGH IF YOU DO THIS, I WOULD RECOMMEND SWITCHING IT UP A BIT AND USING OTHER PEOPLE EYES TOO. because I have a slight difficulty drawing girls with different eye shapes than my own haha oops
I would also recommend paying attention to lid shape, eyelash length, and the angle of the eyes as well as the basic shape. just little details that will set them apart from other eyes.
learning from real life is always super great
here’s my eyes, compared to my sisters. just showing how related people have similar but different eyes
sometimes starting with a circle helps
the same shaped eye with different lids
size differences
for coloring: Eyelids make shadows. eyelashes make shadows. light shows through the iris, depending on the angle.
hope that helped you a bit. mostly just learn from real life for coloring and shape and everything. and then apply it to your style. sorry if this wasn’t that helpful or anything. I’ve been a bit scatterbrained lately as well as busy. I hope i wrote everything i wanted to D:
What a bomb eye reference!
Go give some love to the lovely @maysoulrose!
