1. Whatβs your story? Where are you from?Hi, Iβm Sun Lee, a freelance illustrator. I was born in Seoul, Korea. When I was one, my family moved to Tokyo and lived there for about 7 years and then came back to Korea. I think living in Japan influenced me in some way. Since I watched a lot of Japanese cartoons and animation there, I started to love drawing girls in beautiful clothes and make stories. My parents were open and supported me in art, so I was able to go to art school since 7th grade. I never stopped drawing my whole life. After graduating from university, I worked as a shoe designer and an art teacher for a few years and now I just draw for myself and sometimes work with clients. I am living in Seoul with my husband and soon to be a newborn baby. He is from the US and enjoys living in Korea and coding in his free time. My husband made my website for me. Both of us are quiet and love alone time. So we made a sweet little workspace at home for us and spend most of the time there. μλ νμΈμ. ν리λμ μΌλ¬μ€νΈλ μ΄ν° μ΄μ μ λλ€. μ΄λ¦° μμ μΌλ³Έ λμΏμ 7λ μ° κ²μ μ μΈνκ³ λ νκ΅μμ λλΆλΆμ νμ°½ μνμ 보λμ΄μ. μ΄λ¦΄ λ μΌλ³Έμ μ΄λ©΄μ μΌλ³Έ μ λλ©μ΄μ μ λ§μ΄ λ³Έ κ²μ΄ κ·Έλ¦Ό 그리λ κ²μ μ’μνκ² λ μ΄μ μ€μ νκ°μ§ κ°μμ. νΉν μμ μ·μ μ μ μ¬μλ€μ 그리면μ μ΄μΌκΈ°λ₯Ό λ§λλ κ²μ μ’μνμ΄μ. λΆλͺ¨λμ΄ κ·Έλ¦Ό 그리λ κ²μ μ§μ§ν΄μ£Όμ μ μμ μ€, κ³ λ±νκ΅μμ λ―Έμ 곡λΆλ₯Ό νκ³ λ―Έμ λνμ μ‘Έμ νμ΄μ. μ‘Έμ νμλ μ¬μ±ν λμμ΄λλ‘ μ μ μΌνκ³ , λ―Έμ μ μλμΌλ‘λ μΌνμ΄μ. μ§κΈμ κ°μΈ μΌλ¬μ€νΈ μμ μ μ£Όλ‘ νλ©΄μ νκ΅, λ―Έκ΅ λ± μ¬λ¬ λλΌ ν΄λΌμ΄μΈνΈλ€κ³Ό μ½λΌλ³΄ μμ μ νκ³ μμ΅λλ€. νμ¬ μμΈμμ νκ΅μ μ¬λνλ λ―Έκ΅μΈ λ¨νΈκ³Ό λ±μμ 곧 νμ΄λ μμ΄λ₯Ό κΈ°λ€λ¦¬λ©΄μ μ¦κ²κ² μ΄κ³ μμ΅λλ€. λ¨νΈμ΄ ν΄μμκ°μ μ½λ©κ³Ό μΉμ¬μ΄νΈ μ μμ μ’μν΄μ μ μΉμ¬μ΄νΈλ μ§μ λ§λ€μ΄ μ£Όμμ΄μ :) λλΆλΆμ μκ°μ μ§μ μλ μμ 곡κ°μμ κ°μ ν μΌμ νλ©΄μ μ§λ λλ€.![]() 2. Tell us about your aestheticMy work is feminine, positive and colorful. I love drawing a lot of things but especially girls, animals, plants, tropical and bohemian vibes with bright, vivid colors and contrast between the colors. Color is everything, and choosing the palette is my favorite part. I love letting myself flow and see what comes out. μ¬μ±μ€λ½κ³ λ°κ³ νμ¬ν κ·Έλ¦Όμ 그립λλ€. κ·Έλ¦Όμλ μ¬μ, λλ¬Ό, μλ¬Όμ΄ μ£Όλ‘ λ±μ₯νκ³ νΈλ‘νΌμΉΌνκ³ λ³΄ν€λ―Έμ λλμ΄ λλ μμ μ νλ κ²μ μ’μν©λλ€. μμ μμ μμ΄ ν° λΉμ€μ μ°¨μ§νκ³ μμ κ²°μ νκ³ μΉ νλ κ³Όμ μ κ°μ₯ μ’μν΄μ. μ¬λ¬ κ°μ§ μμ μ¬μ©νλ©΄μ μκ³Όμ μ‘°ν©κ³Ό κ²°κ³Όλ₯Ό 보λ κ²μ΄ ν° μ¦κ±°μμ΄μμ.3. What is your favorite medium and why?Right now I love using watercolor, gouache, acrylic. These mediums allow me to achieve fast results, with the result being diverse. I prefer hand drawing to digital painting because itβs way easier for me, but I started to try doing more digital drawings as well. μ§κΈμ μμ±ν λ¬Όκ°, κ³Όμ, μν¬λ¦΄μ μ£Όλ‘ μ¬μ©νκ³ μμ΄μ. 건μ¬λ£ λ³΄λ€ λΉ¨λ¦¬ 그릴 μ μμ΄μ μ’μμ. μμΌλ‘ 그리λ κ²μ΄ μ΅μν΄μ λ μ’μνμ§λ§, λμ§νΈ μμ λ λ§μ΄ νλ €κ³ μλνκ³ μμ΄μ.4. What is your artistic process like?I always love collecting inspirational images. When I see pictures or something that inspire me then I sketch them or save and take pictures. Before I start sketching, I look through all the inspirational images. Once an idea pops into my head, I start sketching it with a pencil roughly and make a loose composition. When I finish the sketch, I start to color it extemporally. μΌμμνμμ νμ μκ°μ μ£Όλ μλ£λ₯Ό μμ§ν΄μ. μμ μ μμνκΈ° μ μ λͺ¨μλ μλ£λ€μ κ²ν νλ€ μμ΄λμ΄κ° λ μ€λ₯΄λ©΄ κ°λ³κ² ꡬλλ₯Ό μ‘μΌλ©΄μ μ€μΌμΉνκ³ μ±μν΄μ5. Who and/or what inspires your work?I lived in San Francisco for a few months in my twenties and fell in love with the colorfully diverse city. The city inspired me a lot. I love to express those happy feelings with a lot of colors in my painting since then. And I am also inspired by women, fashion, interior magazine, films, nature, traveling, streets, artistsβ¦These days I get a lot of good ideas at Pinterest too. λν μμ μνλμμ€μ½μμ λͺ λ¬μ μ§λλλ° μλ‘λ¬λ‘νκ³ μμ λ‘μ΄ λμλ₯Ό 보면μ λ§μ μκ°μ λ°μ κ±° κ°μμ. κ·Έλ λκΌλ ν볡ν¨μ λ€μν μμΌλ‘ μ¬μ©νκΈ° μμνκ³ μ¬ν νλ‘λ κ³μ λ°κ³ νμ¬ν μκ°μ μμ μ ν΄μμ΄μ. μ¬μ, ν¨μ μ‘μ§, μΈν λ¦¬μ΄ μ‘μ§, μν, μμ°, μ¬ν, κΈΈ, μν°μ€νΈ λ±μμλ μκ°μ λ°μμ. μμ¦μ νν°λ μ€νΈκ° μλ£λ€μ μμ§νκΈ°μ νΈλ¦¬ν΄μ λ§μ΄ μ¬μ©ν΄μ.6.

What do you hope to achieve with your art?I want my artwork to be easy to understand and friendly to people. So I started to share my paintings on Instagram and became an illustrator since 2017. I am just happy when people feel good vibes and enjoy seeing my work as much as I enjoy doing it. If my artwork can make people happy and inspire that would be more appreciated. Also, I hope to communicate with people from different countries. The most rewarding thing is getting to connect with people all around the world. When someone you donβt even know sends you some love and appreciates what you are doing it is THE BEST feeling. λ¨λ λ Έμ μ½κ² μ κ·Όν μ μλ κ·Έλ¦Όμ΄μμΌλ©΄ μ’κ² μ΄μ. κ·Έλ¦Ό 그리λ κ² μ λ₯Ό ν볡νκ² λ§λλ κ²μ²λΌ λ€λ₯Έ λκ΅°κ°λ μ μ κ·Έλ¦Όμ λ³΄κ³ ν볡ν΄μ§κ³ , μκ°μ λ°λλ€λ©΄ μ λ§ κΈ°μ κ±° κ°μμ. κ·Έλ¦ΌμΌλ‘ μ¬λ¬ λλΌ μ¬λλ€κ³Όλ μν΅λ νκ³ μΆμ΄μ. κ·Έλ¦ΌμΌλ‘ μ μΈκ³μ μ¬λλ€κ³Ό μν΅ν μ μλ€λ κ² μ°Έ λ©μ§κ³ 맀λ ₯μ μ΄λΌκ³ μκ°ν΄μ. λ€μν λλΌμμ μ κ·Έλ¦Όμ λ³΄κ³ μ’μν΄ μ£Όμλ λΆλ€μ λ§λκ±°λ λ©μμ§λ₯Ό λ°μΌλ©΄ μ λ§ κΈ°μκ³ , κ°μ¬ν΄μ.![]() 11.
