Below is the collection of character designs from my 2023 projects. Some are commercial and some are personal. 2023 is the year I challenged myself to get out of my comfort zone and stop caring about styles. 

I focus on using the characters as tools for the story, the story will decide the level of exaggeration, use of colors (strong/ soft), level of facial details, etc. 

1. Dramatic motorbike riders

2. Collection of comic characters

I decided to re draw the characters from past projects to see how far I’ve gone and add a new vibe to the character. I like to add a touch of comic and fun to my characters, no matter they are human, animals or objects.

3. A collection of kid illustrations

In 2023, I had the chances to work on many small children’s book and kid-friendly illustrations. 

The ones below are not the original designs, but rather an updated version. I chose this particular coloring style recalling gouache paintings, which are my favorite medium.
