Hello, dear Imps, to the beginning of June. June, I tell you! June already.<\/em> Whoa. <\/p>\n Today, I welcome newly-graduated illustration student Seung-Hee Lee<\/a><\/strong>, since the first Sunday of every month is for illustration students or those brand-spankin’-new to the field. Seung-Hee comes to us by way of the Maryland Institute College of Art<\/a><\/strong>. She was born in Seoul, Korea, moved to the U.S. as a teen, and currently lives in California. <\/p>\n Let’s get right to it. She tells us a bit about her work below and shares some of her detailed, imaginative art. I thank her for sharing today. <\/p>\n Seung-Hee<\/font><\/strong>: My name is Seung-Hee Lee. I just graduated from Maryland Institute College of Art<\/a><\/strong>. When I was young, my parents used to take me to many beautiful places in Korea, season by season. I became very inspired by them and started to draw what I remember in a sketchbook to share with my friends. This is how I got interested in making illustrations.<\/p>\n I like to share what I see and feel through my illustrations, hoping the viewer will possibly get the same feeling. I always try to build a small world with many interesting details. I usually work with gouache. I tried many other media, as I started studying Illustration in MICA, but gouache is what I work with for now. It enables me to use bright and beautiful colors. However, I am planning to use other media as well in the future to keep exploring the beauty that each of them could offer.<\/p>\n Currently, I am working on a personal project, which is illustrating various mythical creatures from many different cultures. I find many interesting things about them by reading their stories, and they are also deeply connected with human emotions. I want to interpret these connections with my drawings to entertain and inform viewers. <\/p>\n<\/a>
