About The Six Arts of Gentlemen Ilustracija

Šest umjetnosti gospode je serija ilustracija zasnovana na šest umjetnosti drevne Kine: obredi, muzika, streličarstvo, vještina upravljanja kočijama, kaligrafija i matematika. Ilustracija predstavlja ove tradicionalne obrazovne discipline kroz likove nacrtane u novom kineskom stilu. Djelo je stvoreno pomoću softvera za digitalno slikanje, koristeći alate poput četkice, aerografa i gradijenta za prikaz svjetla, sjenke i teksture. Tradicionalni grafički motivi dodani su kako bi se detaljno prikazali izrazi lica i oči. Namjera je povezati tradicionalnu kulturu sa digitalnom umjetnošću.
