People from all ages are hoped to enjoy this book. With this reason, illustration is drawn with neutral base colour but not really boring to be seen by applying some contrasts of colour. The style in the illustration is an own digital painting style which does not use many layers. The face of the characters are not drawn to give an impression that the illustration is not only for certain audience; and also to lead the audience to individually imagine how the characters look.
Thank you for viewing!
