I love drawing and painting cause they award me good sense of color and light, a keen eye for detail
and fingers catching the delicate balance between the highlights and big picture.
Growing Up Twins: Design & Painting
I try to add design styles to my paintings, and vice verse, bring more painting features to design work.
Design and painting are like twins in my art life: It is always followed by the upgrade of my design levels
when my painting skills are promoted, and that's why my digital painting work looks more "design".
Bridging the Two Towers: Comic & Oil Painting
Now I'm working on further development of my own styles. I hold beliefs that there must be a wonderful
style between the commercial-oriented comic and the academic-oriented oil painting. It's the combination
of the vivid portraying with elaborate linework and the realistic atmosphere with expressive color.
You can see I get closer to this style in my recent paintings :) .
