1. What's your story? Where are you from?I'm an illustrator based in South Korea. I once worked in a cosmetics company after graduating. At that time, I was fascinated by the illustration on cosmetics packages and decided to become an artist who draw illustrations for cosmetics packages.It's been about a year since I became a freelancer illustrator after working at a company. μ λ νκ΅μμ νλνλ μΌλ¬μ€νΈλ μ΄ν°μ λλ€. λν μ‘Έμ ν νμ₯ν νμ¬μμ μΌνμ μ΄ μλλ°, νμ₯ν ν¨ν€μ§ μΌλ¬μ€νΈλ μ΄μ μ λ§€λ£λμ΄ μΈμ κ° νμ₯ν ν¨ν€μ§ μΌλ¬μ€νΈλ₯Ό 그리λ μκ°κ° λμ΄μΌκ² λ€κ³ λ€μ§νμ΄μ. μ§κΈμ νμ¬μνμ νλ€ ν리λμ μΌλ¬μ€νΈλ μ΄ν°κ° λμ§λ 1λ μ λ λμμ΅λλ€.![]() 2. Tell us about your aesthetic.I usually make colors look more attractive by omitting realistic shades or descriptions and expressing objects simply. The corners of my drawings are round, so people told me they feel my drawings are warm and friendly. Expression is simply, but I try to make actions of figures in the drawings and composition of drawing look lively. And I'm also interested in making motion illustrations these days. μ λ μ¬μ€μ λͺ μμ΄λ λ¬μ¬λ μλ΅νκ³ μ€λΈμ νΈλ€μ μ¬ννκ² νννμ¬ μκ°μ λμ± λ§€λ ₯μ μΌλ‘ λ보μ΄κ² ν©λλ€. κ·Έλ¦Όμ λͺ¨μλ¦¬κ° λ₯κΈμ΄μ λ°λ»νκ³ μΉκ·Όνλ€λ μ΄μΌκΈ°λ λ§μ΄ λ€μ΄μ. ννμ λ¨μνμ§λ§ κ·Έλ¦Ό μ μΈλ¬Όλ€μ νλκ³Ό κ·Έλ¦Όμ ꡬλλ μλκ° μκ² λ³΄μ΄λ €κ³ λ Έλ ₯ν©λλ€. μμ¦μ λͺ¨μ μΌλ¬μ€νΈλ μ΄μ μ λ§λλλ°λ ν₯λ―Έκ° μμ΅λλ€.3. What is your favourite medium and why?I often use Photoshop or Procreate of iPad, but I spend more time on working with Procreate these days. It can be used anywhere like home, studio or cafe easily and provides brushes I like. This is why I use it more often. β¨ ν¬ν μ΅μ΄λ μμ΄ν¨λμ νλ‘ν¬λ¦¬μμ΄νΈλ₯Ό μμ£Ό μ¬μ©νλλ°, μμ¦μ νλ‘ν¬λ¦¬μμ΄νΈλ‘ μμ νλ μκ°μ΄ λ λ§μ κ² κ°μμ. μ§μ΄λ μμ μ€, μΉ΄ν μ΄λμλ νΈνκ² μ¬μ©ν μ μκ³ , λ§μ λλ λΈλ¬μ¬κ° ν¬ν¨λμ΄ μκΈ° λλ¬Έμ λ μμ΄ κ°λλ€.4. What is your artistic process like?I normally draw whatever I want to rather than deciding topic from the first when I do personal work. As I recklessly sit down and draw lines, new ideas come to my mind naturally and this makes me to have more fun composition. Since it is digital work, I revise shapes and colors until I can make mood I want. I tend to color and think on a various versions until I get final outcomes. β¨ κ°μΈμμ μ ν λλ μ²μλΆν° μ£Όμ λ₯Ό μ νκΈ°λ³΄λ€ μμ΄ κ°λ λλ‘ κ·Έλ¦΄ λκ° λ§μ΅λλ€. 무μμ μμ μ μ κ·Έλ¦¬λ€ λ³΄λ©΄ μμ°μ€λ½κ² μλ‘μ΄ μμ΄λμ΄κ° λ μ€λ₯΄κ³ λ μ¬λ―Έμλ ꡬλκ° λμ€λ κ² κ°μμ. λμ§νΈ μμ μ΄κΈ° λλ¬Έμ λ§μμ λλ λλμ΄ λμ¬ λ κΉμ§ λͺ¨μμ΄λ μκ°μ μμ ν©λλ€. μ λ μ΅μ’ κ²°κ³Όλ¬Όμ΄ λμ¬ λ κΉμ§ κ½€ μ¬λ¬ λ²μ μΌλ‘ μ±μν΄λ³΄κ³ κ³ λ―Όνλ νΈμ λλ€.5. Who and/or what inspires your work?Movies or trips. I get inspired by props, buildings, interior or landscapes rather than the story of the movie. I like overseas films with the background of Europe because I can see unfamiliar scenery with place where I live. I sometimes draw pictures while recalling the memories of overseas trips. But I didn't travel much, so I usually see travel photos taken by others. I try to draw by imagining my own feeling I felt when I saw the scenery rather than drawing by looking at the photos. β¨ μνλ μ¬νμ λλ€. μν μ€ν 리보λ€λ μν, 건물, μΈν 리μ΄, νκ²½κ°μ κ²μμ μκ°μ μ»μ΄μ. μ κ° μ¬λ κ³³μ΄λμ λ€λ₯Έ λ―μ νκ²½μ λ³Ό μ μμ΄μ μ λ½λ°°κ²½μ ν΄μΈμνλ₯Ό μ’μν©λλ€. ν΄μΈ μ¬ν κΈ°μ΅μ λ μ¬λ¦¬λ©° κ·Έλ¦Όμ 그리기λ νλλ°μ, κ·Έλ λ€κ³ μ¬νμ λ§μ΄ λ€λ λ³Έ νΈμ μλμ¬μ λ€λ₯Έ μ¬λλ€μ μ¬νμ¬μ§λ μμ£Ό κ°μν©λλ€. μ¬μ§μ λ³΄κ³ κ·Έλ¦¬κΈ° 보λ€λ κ·Έ μ₯λ©΄μ 보μμ λμ μ΄λ―Έμ§λ₯Ό λ μ¬λ¦¬λ©° μ λ§μ λλλλ‘ μμνμ¬ κ·Έλ¦½λλ€.6. What role does art play In your life? How does it change the way you view the world?When I'm depressed, I draw paintings and feel gratitude that there is something I can do well and I like. I think I feel a great sense of achievement and satisfaction while drawing. However, since drawing became my job, I feel a sense of frustration that I can't draw with a pure heart just as in old days. β¨ μ°μΈν μΌμ΄ μμ λ κ·Έλ¦Όμ 그리며 λ΄κ° μ νκ³ μ’μνλ κ²μ΄ μλ€λ κ²μ κ°μ¬ν΄μ. κ·Έλ¦Όμ ν΅ν΄ ν° μ±μ·¨κ°κ³Ό λ§μ‘±κ°μ μ»κ² λλ κ² κ°μ΅λλ€. νμ§λ§ κ·Έλ¦Όμ 그리λκ²μ΄ μ§μ μ΄λ€λ³΄λ μμ λ§νΌ μμν λ§μμΌλ‘ κ·Έλ¦Όμ 그릴 μ μκ² λ κ² κ°μ μμ½κΈ°λ ν©λλ€. β¨![]() 7. Where did you study?I graduated from Hanyang University in Korea. When I was in university, I thought I would become an graphic designer, so I focused on branding and editorial design rather than illustration. I think studying visual design was very helpful for me. β¨ νκ΅μ μλ νμλνκ΅λ₯Ό μ‘Έμ νμ΅λλ€. λνμ λ€λ λλ κ·Έλν½ λμμ΄λκ° λ μ€ μμκΈ° λλ¬Έμ μΌλ¬μ€νΈλ μ΄μ λ³΄λ€ λΈλλ©, νΈμ§ λμμΈμ μ£Όλ‘ κ³΅λΆνμ΅λλ€. μκ°λμμΈμ 곡λΆν κ²μ΄ κ΅μ₯ν λμμ΄ λλ κ² κ°μμ.8.

I also want to work with oversea brands. β¨ λμ± μ λ€μ΄ μμ΄λ΄ν°ν°κ° μλ μν°μ€νΈλ‘ μ리μ‘μΌλ©΄ μ’κ² κ³ , λ€μν λΈλλμ ν¨ν€μ§, κ΄κ³ , μμ λΆμΌμμ νμ ν΄ μνΈ μ½λΌλ³΄λ μ΄μ μμ μ΄ λ§μ΄ μμ¬ μμΌλ©΄ μ’κ² μ΄μ. ν΄μΈ λΈλλμλ μΌν΄λ³΄κ³ μΆμ΅λλ€.9.

And one of my dreams is to experience various art cultures around the world while traveling the world with my family. β¨ 10λ νμλ μ‘°κΈ λ λκΈνκ² κ·Έλ¦Όμ κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ , λ³΄λ€ λ€μν λΆμΌμμ μμ νκ³ μΆμ΅λλ€. μ λ§μ μ€λΈμ μ νλ λ§λ€μ΄ λ³΄κ³ μΆκ³ μΈν 리μ΄λ μμμ μνΈ λλ μ λ ν΄λ³΄κ³ μΆμ΅λλ€. λ κ°μ‘±κ³Ό μΈκ³ μ¬νμ νλ©° μΈκ³μ λ€μν μμ λ¬Ένλ₯Ό μ ν΄λ³΄λ κ²λ κΏμ λλ€.10. What do you hope to achieve with your art?If I can have my own identity as an artist until I become old, it would be cool. Even though we have a tough life, but I hope to have relaxation and warm and beautiful aspect to my life just like drawings. β¨ λμ΄κ° λ€μ΄ λ ΈμΈμ΄ λ λ κΉμ§ μ μκ²μ μν°μ€νΈλ‘μμ μμ΄λ΄ν°ν°κ° λκ»΄μ§λ©΄ λ©μμ κ² κ°μ΅λλ€. κ°λ°ν μΆμ΄μ§λ§, μ μΆμ κ·Έλ¦Όκ°μ μ¬μ μ λ°λ»νκ³ μλ¦λ€μ΄ λ©΄λͺ¨κ° λκ»΄μ§λ©΄ μ’κ² μ΄μ. β¨![]() 11.
