關於 New Year 插畫

在寧靜嘅庭院之中,冬雪輕輕飄灑,秋葉色彩斑斕,一位優雅嘅人物坐於其中,身披精緻和服。呢個場景喚起咗侘寂嘅精髓,體現出孤寂與靜謐之美。布料上點綴住細緻嘅圖案,大多為松樹紋樣,象徵莊重肅穆;而富有韻律感嘅青海波紋則代表住大海嘅寧靜。放大細看,更多精緻細節顯現出嚟——左側擺放住一塊刻有畫家筆名嘅石牌;而和服之上,則繪有老鼠圖案,象徵住2020年鼠年嘅到來。

新聞資料包

由設計師提供嘅製作人員名單、團隊成員同技術詳情。

獨特屬性: An elegant figure with splendid Kimono, serenely sitting in a yard on a cold winter's day at new year, with colourful leaves and slowly showering snow around her that represents the traditional artistic term, Wabisabi (beauty of solitude and tranquility).

If we zoom in, it can be seen that the Patterns are mainly Pines, which is used in the most formal kimono, to be worn only on ceremonious occasions; and also "Seigaiha (sea waves)", which represents tranquility.

Aside from that, the stone plate on the left reads the pen-name of the artist; and on the kimono, there are patterns depicting mice, to celebrate 2020, the year of mouse.
尺寸同包裝: Original dimensions at 5600*3150 px, with 935 canvas layers
標籤: Illustration, Kimono, Furisode, Kouyou, Karesansui
生產技術: Drawn using a Wacom Cintiq Pro 32, with software Easy Paint Tool SAI 2.0
設計挑戰: The key challenge is to make a painting while keep the authenticity of the elements - the kimono, the karesansui ("dry yard") and the red leaves. While many other illustrators prefer drawing kimono-like outfits, this work must be authentic on the kimono design so it can fit the theme properly; under such condition, the creating process became much more difficult due to the fact that it can not be a free-form creation, but a restricted one that the combination of all the elements in the painting must be meticulously designed and crafted.
研究: Research especially on the meaning of the kimono patterns was conducted, to better represent kimono while avoid improper designs. Books and documents are examined, and different combinations of patterns are tried in the painting, and the one with best both cultural and visual effect was determined, resulting in a design which is both having superb color representation and cultural meaning that befit the theme of the work (new year).
靈感: When I was sitting alone in my home watching a video about how Kimono's (traditional Japanese dress) are made, I suddenly imagined a figure in Karesansui (Japanese stone yards), surrounded by maples and wearing the most fine, magnificent Kimono; and I, a "photographer", would quietly approach, crouching on the ground and capture the evanescent moment with a single-lens-reflex camera (which is my canvas and pen)
項目時長: The vague inspiration of it formed since 2017-2018, and the actual drawing started in December 2019, finished & published in January 2020.
操作流程: At first sight, you will immediately focus on the figure in the middle, in spite of the fact that the saturation level of the background is much higher. This is called the "blurring perspectives" technic that by burring out items whilst no obvious perspective cues, it creates a huge sense of space, and can lead the beholder to focus their sight at once at the non-blurred items, namely the figure in this painting, sitting in the middle, creating a "photo-like" effect.
