About The Six Arts of Gentlemen Ilustrație

Cele Șase Arte ale Gentlemenilor este o serie de ilustrații bazată pe cele șase arte ale Chinei antice: ritualul, muzica, tirul cu arcul, conducerea carelor, caligrafia și matematica. Ilustrația prezintă aceste subiecte educaționale tradiționale prin figuri de personaje realizate într-un stil chinezesc modern. Lucrarea este creată cu ajutorul unui software de pictură digitală, utilizând instrumente de tip pensulă, aerograf și degrade pentru a reda lumina, umbra și textura. Motive grafice tradiționale sunt adăugate pentru a detalia expresiile și ochii personajelor. Intenția este de a conecta cultura tradițională cu arta digitală.
