ProfessionalWhy did you make this work:
The story comes from an an invitation from a publishing company. The story "big ship" tells the changes in long time. As I read the story, I kept turning pictures in my mind. . I extract two visual elements in the story：black iron boat and white fishing net.They are extracted as clues throughout the story. I painted with acrylic, hoping to convey strong energy.
How was the illustration used: These are five illustrations in the picture book
How did you make this work: I painted with acrylic
