Maja Wronska is a talented Polish illustrator who gained a significant following on social media thanks to her watercolor paintings of cityscapes. Her works capture the scenes of American and European cities in a unique way, showing them lively thanks to the vibrant nature of watercolors.
Wronska recently decided to take her watercolor cityscapes to another level by animating them. Done in the form of short clips and gifs, these animations now bring her captivating scenes to life. They still have the charm of the original, with the only difference being that now cars move, traffic lights change color, and pedestrians walk.
According to Wronska, these animated works are time-consuming projects. She first needs to make the original paintings for each frame in a similar way cartoon makers do. This usually takes her up to six hours. From there, she uses Photoshop to polish the works and turn them into moving scenes.
“It takes me three hours, I think, sometimes more or less depending on how many windows I cut or how many cars and people I animate,” she explains.
