Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and so is the quality of femininity. Exploring this for many artists takes on a diversity of themes. From exploring the pleasures of being a girl to a simple childhood memory, each artist embodies this message in its unique way and choice of medium.
The collection of renderings selected in this episode of the Monday Inspiration series, 50 beautiful and creative feminine illustrations is sure to please your feminine side. And if your feminine side is non-existent — beautiful women have always been and remain an excellent inspiration.
Please notice: this showcase was supposed to present unusual styles, ideas and approaches to the illustration of a woman — not just some beautiful pictures. Some examples are hilarious; the other ones are somber. Hopefully, everybody will find something new and interesting for himself / herself. At the bottom of the article, you'll find further sources to explore feminine illustrations on the Web and find artists that exude girly.
