If I had to choose one word that represents my drawing style, it would be 'Spring'.

I want people to see my drawings and feel they are blooming themselves, like a warm spring of blooming flowers.

Cottagecore is the lifestyle I choose and value. The reason might be that I live in Seoul, a big city, so I admire rural life and natural sceneries more than what my eyes catch in their sight daily.

So rather than spreading intensity, I express a calm and peaceful mood similar to what I see in nature.

What is the key to making your illustrations?

First, I'd like to talk about the things that I find inspiration in. I focus on happiness in small things. The flowers I encounter in a garden, the whispers of flowers fluttering when the wind blows, even a small flower at the corner of a street I see while walking.

I work mainly inspired by small wildflowers. Natural landscapes from old botanical encyclopedias and rural landscapes are also part of my inspiration. I save a lot of content through pictures and often take notes about colored pencil art ideas.

Secondly, let's talk about the technique of work. I draw to the extent of elaborate details as if they were real flowers and I express my feelings through color.

I use pointed colored pencils to precisely express the shape of the flower. I then set a soft and warm atmosphere by using pastel tones rather than strong colors.

I also like to confront plain and textured paper together using the paper flower technique in order to give the impression of flowers blooming.

Rather than simply drawing, I think crafting paper flowers creates a much more beautiful atmosphere. This is a closer translation of my imagination.
