I have a simple way of using watercolors. I put on thin layers and try to keep the colors bright and clear.

My Version of LT Coloring Poster

Sharing my colored version of the Little Thunder Coloring poster!

I used three colors from Dr. Ph. Martin's concentrated watercolor (3A, 8A, 10A). Using just two to three colors, you can ensure that the whole picture looks coordinated and harmonious.

Have you colored the poster yet? Today is the last day to download it, so hurry and grab it before it's gone!

Watercolor doodling

Unveiling My Old Drawings from the 2000s

I used to be quite messy with my drawings. I would fill both sides of photocopy paper with comics and often fold my sketches without proper storage. Many of my drawings were lost during moves. 

These are some of my artworks from the early 2000s, with many childish elements and even some things that were not quite suitable to draw, but that's what makes them interesting.

Over the years, my art style has constantly changed, just like myself. I used to be afraid to look at my ol...

A BREAKTHROUGH (2001) - ENG

(Please read the comic starting from top right)

It's a comic I made when I was 16, published in 2001. It's one of my earliest works published in a magazine when I first started out. I remember doodling on A4 paper while attending classes to create this.

I rarely revisit my own comics. It just feels so naked. But this one, it's been so long, there's a feeling of 'who is that?' and it's still quite interesting.

革新 (2001）- 中文

這是我16歲的作品，發表於2001年，是我入行最早期在雜誌上發表的作品。我記得當時是一邊上課一邊在A4紙上偷畫這篇漫畫。

我很少翻看自己的漫畫，感覺很赤裸。但這一篇由於時間久遠，有種「那是誰」的感覺，還是挺有趣的。

*漫畫因要符合現今社會標準稍作了修改
