Some illustrators did such a great job mastering their craft that there’s something truly radiant about their drawings. That’s certainly the case with Helen of Lander Art, whose Disney illustrations are glowing, both figuratively and literally.
This 20-year-old artist specializes in glowing sketches, and her Instagram page lander_art has attracted 160,000 followers so far. She mostly draws inspiration from popular culture, and many of her illustrations happen to be inspired by our favorite Disney heroines.
Her hit series “princesses in real life” imagines Rapunzel, Snow White, Jasmine, and other beloved characters with more realistic features. Another thing that drawings in this series have in common is the inclusion of the princesses’ loyal pets.
Lander Art’s signature feature, however, is the way her sketches seem to glow brilliantly and mercilessly. She usually tends to make the princess’s jewelry radiant, while using more of a classic technique for the rest of the drawing. By mixing a technical drawing style with her signature glowing elements, Helen has managed to make her illustrations realistic and magical at the same time. People can’t get enough of her masterpieces!
