일러스트레이션의 세계로 연결
Chinese illustrator Leah Han uses fluid, flexible, sweeping line work and gentle colour palettes to create worlds that are subtle and soft, exuding feminine beauty and energy in her own unique style. Moments of vivid colour and touches of surrealism bring dynamism and pops of jubilance, emerging from the general feeling of calm, adding positivity while never breaking the harmony of the artwork.
Originally from Chengdu, Leah has been on a creative journey ever since she first grasped a pencil at the age of four. “Drawing has always been my ultimate comfort zone and my favourite form of self-expression,” she says.
From 16 she began formal training, graduating in Fashion Design at Sichuan University, then was tutored in the traditional Chinese practice of Gongbi-hua, with its meticulous focus on brush control, flowing lines and layered colouring techniques. It’s a method that heavily informs her approach to this day, helping her develop a style full of soft palettes, storytelling and forms influenced by Tang Dynasty art.
As well as her appreciation for the tonal and emotional aspects of any brief, clients admire Leah’s high standards, dedication and professionalism. Leah is further inspired by travel, absorbing the energy and unique colour palette of each place she visits.
