Yoyo: The road to success as an illustrator and toy designer signed by Bubble Mart.
Background and abilities: Yoyo’s colorful world
In busy cities, Yoyo can always use her extremely sharp eyes to capture the beauty that is easily overlooked. Whether it’s the curves of the corners of old buildings or the color combinations of pedestrians on the street, she can find a unique charm in them. Her paintings always make people feel her deep love and curiosity about the world. For Principal Shi, each of her paintings is like a small world, full of infinite imagination and possibilities.
Discover interests and guidance: discover endless possibilities
When Principal Shi saw Yoyo's works for the first time, he was deeply attracted. What he saw was not only her skills, but also her unique perspective and way of thinking. In the process of guiding Yoyo, they are more discussing and sharing. Principal Shi helped her discover more different beauty in ordinary things, for example, discovering different color combinations in an abandoned building, or seeing the architectural structure on the clothes in a fashion show. Principal Shi encouraged her to keep trying and exploring, allowing different elements to collide and merge in her paintings. In the end she chose illustration design.
Application and Preparation: Cross-Border Artists
In the process of preparing her illustration design portfolio, Yoyo poured all her thoughts into each work. Her scene design has a sense of architectural geometry, and her characters have fashion elements. She is not afraid of trying or failing. Every attempt makes her paintings richer and more diverse. In the end, she succeeded in getting admitted to the university of her choice.
Studying in the UK: Exploration and Practice
While studying in the UK, Yoyo did not indulge in her comfort zone. She actively participates in various activities and boldly tries different things. She discovered that the British loved cats, so she used her unique brushwork to depict those cute kittens. These paintings not only brought income, but also became unique memories of her life in the UK, and also brought warmth to British cat lovers.
After returning to China: persistence and dedication
Yoyo returned to China with her study and practical experience in the UK. She chose a path full of unknowns and challenges to become an independent illustration artist. Countless attempts and failures did not defeat her, but made her more determined in her direction. She shows her work on various platforms and shows her strength in various competitions. Finally, after two years of continuous hard work and persistence, her work was gradually recognized by people, and her dream gradually became a reality. Eventually she became a contracted artist and toy designer for Bubble Mart. She now runs her own studio with more than 40 employees and launches her own designs every month.
In Yoyo's story, we see the possibility of every ordinary person - as long as we dream and dare to practice, we will be able to make the whole world shine with our presence in a certain moment.
