Xi Yao

Hi, I'm Xi Yao!

I enjoy various forms of art mediums, especially digital art. For digital art I use the free drawing software Krita to create my artworks.

My biggest inspiration is the culture, my own expireneces and the people around me. My artstyle is inspired by Japanese animation, and my own chinese culture, specifically traditional chinese watercolour and ink washing.

In my art I enjoy using white to emphasize the details and subjects in my art. The colours are heavily determined by the overall mood and emotions of the illustration. Within each artwork there is an underlying story attached that can be interpreted diffrently by others.

In the future I hope to be able to fully imerse myself into the world of animation and create my own mini animations or helping others bring their stories to life with my unique cultural views and style.
