This personal illustration was Inspired by a set of photos that I took in Wu Zhen China mixed with some Japanese elements, the meaning of the illustration is open to the interpretation of the spectator.
I started by creating a high contrasted line in a A3 paper using Sakura 01 and 03 pens, then I coloured the illustration in photoshop using a basic palette and a raw brushing technique, finally I've added subtle textures and color corrections.
This is the photo that inspired me to create the illustration, it was taken in Wu Zhen, a small town not far from Shanghai.
