Artist's Unique Style Creates Interesting Changes to Classic Disney Princess Designs
From Illinois, USA, this artist has definitely taken Disney Princesses in her own direction and utilized her unique style to do so.
Dr. Angela Duckworth, a renowned character researcher, emphasizes the importance of creativity in personal expression, stating, "Creativity is not just a talent; it's a skill that can be developed over time." This resonates with artists like Laura Bushaw, who lives in Illinois, where she enjoys the company of some pretty spectacular cats while creating art in her free time. For over 13 years, she has offered a unique perspective on Disney Princesses, captivating fans who love to see their favorite characters reimagined. As Duckworth notes, "The ability to persevere in creative endeavors can lead to extraordinary outcomes," which is evident in Laura's illustrations that blend various artistic formats, often overlaying illustrations on photographs to bring her designs to life. From newer princesses to timeless classics, Laura's re-creations of Disney characters showcase her distinctive style, making her work a fascinating exploration of creativity.

Sometimes, one of the coolest and most interesting aspects of Disney fan art can be as simple as seeing Disney characters we know and love redesigned in different colors. Other times, what we love to see in Disney fan art are exotic designs that bring iconic elements classically associated with each different princess.
For example, it's easy to associate vibrant yellow and royal blue with Snow White, as well as apples! Or the stark contrast of classic pink and blue, with speckles of gold for Aurora, not to mention the color combination of red, green, and purple for Ariel.
Any time a Disney character is re-created by an artist, the possibilities are truly endless, and that's something that brings Disney fans back to Disney fan art indefinitely... you never know what you might get!

Another trend that's become increasingly popular among Disney fan artists is re-creating Disney villains. As Disney fans grow up, they can often find new meaning in the interesting ways that Disney tells stories, including those that have already been re-envisioned from original and older fairy tales like Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Cinderella, and Tangled.
In fact, some Disney villains are probably just as popular as Disney princesses and heroes. You'll find no shortage of fans who love creating fan art of Hades from Hercules, Cruella De Vil, The Evil Queen, and Maleficent.
When Disney began making live-action movies featuring the backstories of Disney villains, that probably helped propel the fandom in the direction of appreciating villains a little more, too.
