VCD – Character Design & Illustration

I'm an illustrator who explores different emotions and perspectives through my work. I enjoy combining a sweet, simple atmosphere with pop colours, often placing ironic or unexpected elements within the scene. Detailed line-work, especially in character-focused illustrations, is also a central part of my practice. Building characters and worlds is also a central part of my work, with the goal of becoming a comic or webtoon artist.

My approach shifts depending on the subject or concept, and I enjoy exploring different styles and methods. I aim to create work that connects with a wide audience, while staying true to the emotions and perspectives I want to express.
