Peking Opera Roles -1

Peking opera or Beijing opera (Jīngjù) is a form of traditional Chinese theatre which combines music, vocal performance, mime, dance and acrobatics. It arose in the late 18th century and became fully developed and recognized by the mid-19th century.

This is a new series of illustration I'm working on. In Peking opera there are  four main characters- Sheng(生), Dan(旦), Jing(净), Chou(丑). Read more about it here.



Hua Dan- a young girl full of vivacity and innocence.



Jing- which means all kinds of painted-faces and acts as the male role that has a particular personality or appearance.

Those Women

Cartoon Portraits Commission

These old photos are found in my hard-disk back to the year of 2006 (I know I was quite fat at that time). I was still in university. I worked for a sports  shop during National Holiday for their marketing campaign as what they called "Dalian Young Comic Artist". My job was to draw quick cartoon portraits on T-shirts for the customers who consumed over 400 yuan. It was quite fun. That was my first time to earn money from art.

Sketches from my summer trip. I was back to Miao villages in Guizhou again which are nice places to escape to from the summer heat.
