Final Output

This illustration series consists of twelve main pieces along with several supporting graphics. The compositions are guided by an overarching concept—each piece reflects, from my own perspective, a state of traditional Chinese culture in the present day. Rather than conveying meaning directly, the works focus on structural and cultural elements, inviting the viewer to reflect and interpret.

In terms of technique, after confirming the basic composition, I used the traditional baimiao (fine-line) method from Chinese ink painting for modeling. However, I broke away from the conventional xieyi (freehand) ink style, introducing geometric forms to enhance visual structure. The drawings were created in Procreate, where I matched shapes and colors using textures sampled from traditional crafts, and then finalized the overall color harmony in Photoshop. The series seeks to merge traditional craftsmanship, critical reflection, and contemporary formal innovation.
