How did you make this work:
My hometown Nanjing is a Modernized historical city. Nanjing is wild, noisy, full of vitality and contradictory. Residential buildings maintained their appearance 50 years ago. But the internet-famous shops are embedded in the historic buildings. To present the "contradictory sense" of the city, I combined digital painting, hand drawing and fabrics to make a digital collage for this picture.
