How portraits are made?
The process of making beautiful Animal Century portraits takes long time, depends on the difficulty and creativity of put-up image. When the character to be portrayed is chosen, we start picking up the costume, browse into materials about fashion, consult about the characters attitude and what color of the outfit would fit it…We take to the attention every detail of the portrait – every portrait must be unrepeatable! When the time to make portrait in colour comes, the artist uses her own, developed through years author technique. It is difficult to describe for words. All portraits are made with love, and we hope, you notice it, our dear visitors…So, a one portrait can take a month or more to make, including all corrections and improvements.
