Work Space

Character Design

In summer this year, one of my friends' friend emailed me about a project. A yoghurt shop in Shanghai owned by her friend wants to find an illustrator to create monthly comic series around their brand character, in the same simple style with colour pencils and with Chinese characteristic. She saw the Haibao comic I did for Shanghai Squared, and thought this similar commission might fit me.

The cartoon character is the girl you can see below. I did several samples. It's not some style I usually do. I liked the ideas and effects I came out with though.And I was interested in the project much. So I applied for the position. But shame they've never got back to me.

Old Drawings

The player happened to play Daydream's piano music. The very past burst to my mind.When I was in uni, I hated accounting as my major. At that time I skipped classes to stay in the dorm to draw. With music, I kept drawing different portraits one after another, sometimes with tears dropping. My heart continued to be sensitive. Drawing was the way to let my sentiments out. It was my way to heal. I couldn't help looking back at some old drawings drawn at that time, about 5-6 years ago.

Once there was a girl,

You've no ideas what she'd been through

You don't know she was such something blue

a bird singing gloomy songs

The first time her wings broke

she realised she actually had them in two

The first time her heart broke

she believed her feelings were so true

that others could hurt but could never deprive

From then on, she started the long trip seeking home

Rather suffered than numb
