New TalentWhy did you make this work:
This is a picture book about an introverted girl finding her place in the crowd and her way to communicate with the world, with the help of a spirit character Smoggie. Self-recognition and self-identification are not commonly talked about in the area where I grew up. Most of my peers didn’t know who they are or what they want. Some don’t even have an answer now. I wish the situation can improve.
How was the illustration used: a children's book
How did you make this work: I used watercolor, gouache, color pencil, oil pastel, and screen print to create different parts of the images, and later combined and refined them in photoshop.
