DESIGN NAME: Misty Little Forest
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Series of Illustraions
INSPIRATION: The inspiration for the artwork comes from the interest in the small and vulnerable things that are not easy to see. I often think that little weeds and flowers by the that I see while walking on the outside contains an invisible and mysterious world of their own. Imagining and expressing those worlds is quite an interesting thing to do.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The blue-ish and damp texture that is somewhat similar to the earth is intended to create a unique atmosphere. Overlapping the cream and white colored pencil on the green and blue color creates a calm mood that brings up the image of the fog. The leaves and stems in the background were expressed using watercolor to reinforce the soft texture.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The unique atmosphere of the works will lead viewers to feel both comfort and mystery at the same time.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in November 2018 in Korea, and was exhibited in Seoul Illustration Fair (SIF) 2018 with other works.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The first thing I did to express the mysterious world was the observation. I found places like the shady stump in the park or a place crowded with clovers, and I took the picture and sketched those places. As well as the colored pencil, I used graphics tools like Photoshop to visualize the mysterious atmosphere from the observation quickly and intuitively. Resultingly, these processes helped me to understand the concepts of the painting.
CHALLENGE: The biggest challenge was to prevent audiences from feeling dull and bored. I managed to create diverse and soft colors by mixing many different colored pencils in green and blue tones on many pieces of paper. I wanted to avoid the color that is too bright and has excessively high chroma, so I colored the blank background for multiple times with the very thin yellow color to see how the color fits in the big picture.
