13 Illustrating
I finished all the soviet cities series illustrations with my Surface laptop. I prefer a laptop to an iPad when creating.
Because of the spring festival, job things and games, I did not illustrate a lot for the last two months. 

12 The Ant

06 The Apartment Building
The apartment complex I lived in the last 2 years. I took a picture in the dusk, the golden moment with the best light.

07 Acacia Baileyana Purpurea
A small plant on my balcony. Its' seeds have to be soaked in boiled water before planting. Unfortunately, my rabbit ate this poor little plant last summer.

05 The Shadows
The railing of the overpass is fence-like. Fence-like shadows highlight contrast between light and shadow.

04 Gezhi Building
Another view of Gezhi Building. 

Happy new year！
Since I finished Soviet Cities series, I started another series. Inspiration form some pictures I took in 2021.
It's all 4k resolutions, 4096*2160, enough to be wallpapers.
 

01 The Road
This road is where I used to going to work every day. Under the sunshine, it looks peaceful and clean.
 
 

02 The Yellow Bike
A yellow bicycle parked on the side of the road. Chengdu seldom has sunny days, so it's a good time for taking pictures. The light is excellent. Light is essential in photographs and drawings. Shadow makes them vivid. There are a lot of leaves on the ground.
 
 

03 Gezhi Building
This is the building where I used to work at. To better express the volume and perspective of the building, I used a wide-angle shot. A strong sense of perspective makes the illustrations more realistic. Also, it increases the workload.

They are just floor tiles, designed into chess boards. I think it's just for decoration.

These are part two of my Soviet Cities series illustration.

 
 
 

Last piece of Soviet Cities series, House of Soviets.
 

Love the night/day one. Great colours and even better gradient use especially down the walls.

I love it, great use of colors.

11 The Butterfly
I shot this butterfly with my Sigma macro lens.

So cool.

Really very nice work here!
Love the simplicity of them, even amidst such lovely complex details. Nicely done!
