About

I have been studying art since childhood and have been exposed to many different painting materials, such as oil sticks, watercolour markers, and colour lead. Besides, I have a passion and hobby of creation all the time. I studied animation during my undergraduate studies. I'm interested in digital illustration and am passionate about making brushes to recreate the effect of painting materials on paper. ​I like to create cute characters, character expression and dynamic design are my field of expertise, and always believe that this is a loving world, and want readers to feel this world. I'm inspired mainly by my little sister, anime, and funny things in everyday life.

Project overview

Bubble Trip for Princess DADA

​Bubbles are amazing, they can fly into the sky, have various shapes, and have transparent and reflective surfaces. When children play with bubbles, they blow them into the sky and chase them, which attracts their interest and is good for their play. The princess DADA's parents were always busy with their affairs and had no time to accompany her. In addition to daily lessons, DADA also learns various etiquette and rules and develops skills such as horseback riding, archery, swimming, and painting. She was trapped in the castle, with no time for the outside world and no friends. Children lack parental companionship and are addicted to playing with electronic devices at home because their parents are busy and spend less time with them. Faced with the attraction of the Internet, they are more reluctant to go out and experience the outside world. The story aims to show beauty, harmony and fun and help DADA rid herself of negative emotions. The hope is that DADA's great loneliness will make children relate to it in their reading and develop empathy through DADA's story. Empathy helps make connections, regulate emotions, promote helpful behaviours, and enable children to feel loved by their parents and learn to love others. Through this story, the audience can enhance their love and curiosity for the outside world, be more willing to contact nature, establish the idea that animals and humans are friends, and be willing to socialise and play with friends.
