- Why did you create this work?
I had a fun childhood filled with laughs, tears, happy moments, and sad times. I want to draw these memories to record my life with friends and my brother, practicing storytelling and developing my artistic style. - How were your illustrations used?
I would like to compile my childhood drawings into a book to share with my family, exploring our differing memories. It will be a fun journey of discovery. Currently, all my work is posted on Behance, Instagram, Zcool, Xiaohongshu, and other platforms. - What materials and techniques did you use?
For this particular work, I have only used Procreate from iPad. - Was this project commissioned?
