1. What's your story? Where are you from?

I’m Ramzy and a freelance illustrator working in Korea. I work in the field of illustration and design. I’m attracted to cute things and my paintings usually have cute cats and lovely feelings.

2. Tell us about your aesthetic.

The color and cute factors are the most important things in my artwork. My painting has cute animal characters, pastel colors, lovely stories, and it feels like a fairy tale. I hope to make many people who see my paintings smile.

3. What is your favourite medium and why?

I usually use lots of color pencils and photoshop. Color pencils are attractive because they can express soft and warm textures. Photoshop has the advantage of being able to provide detailed descriptions and endless colors.

Whenever I come up with an idea, I take notes and do rough sketches. After that, I draw in detail with color pencils by choosing one of the sketches and make a few touch-ups on the photoshop.

Disney Pixar Animation is the biggest inspiration for me. The fantastic scenes, beautiful colors, creative stories and new characters give me great inspiration and stimulation.
