Shen Gongbao: Fanart of Nezha

Did you go to an art school?

Yeah, I graduated from China Academy of Art(CAA)

When did you know that art will be something you want to pursue as a career?

When I was a child, I wanted to be an artist but didn’t have a specific direction. As a little girl, I just wanted to paint all the time.

LORA: “WARNING: MAY BE HABIT FORMING”
This water dispenser is where I get water every day, it is kept in a small compartment. During that time, my condition was unstable, and I often had to drink a lot of water. Over time, I felt that there was a little girl sleeping in it. Everyone was greedily licking her nutrients, but she always purified the sewage into pure water. LORA is a medicine prescribed by a doctor and can bring me stability. The little girl inside is also, even if she is outside, she will always be so quiet. I also printed a New Year postcard for this picture and sent it to my friends. Let them take pictures of the girls in this small compartment around the world.

Why concept art?

I want to create a world.

How did you discover your style?

What makes me comfortable is how I draw, and I don’t deliberately learn which genre, but the commercial manuscript is different.

What does your working process look like? (from idea to finished piece)

I would write down some pieces of inspiration in a notebook, then choose a suitable theme and draw many sketches, and then choose the appropriate draft to finish it.

What are some tools and books you can recommend to beginner artists?

Even though I use the computer to draw, I still use a pencil and paper to help me, they are the artist’s eternal friends.

As for books, the How To series published by Design Studio Pr is very good!

Baptism And Guarding: “The Last Great Adventure is You”
Give my friend a birthday greeting to realize his desire to be a priest. He himself loves the universe and believes in religion. In reality, his hands do have a cross. The soapy water in the bathtub was transformed into a star river, and the bath was baptized and purified, so it was a little boy who was protected by him.

What advice can you give to those starting out?

Foundation is always the most important, don’t ignore those exercises and theories, step by step, you will see yourself change.

Nest “Be happy, you shall have your red rose”
Inspired by my favorite story the nightingale and the rose, below which is the female pelvis, the nightingale stained the rose with the blood and ran down into menstrual blood.

What’s your big goal as an artist?

Painting has no end, I hope I can keep creating.
