In the summer of 2015, she was also a junior student in the School of Animation and Digital Arts, Communication University of China, majoring in digital game design. Her dream was to become a world-renowned illustrator like Innocenti and Edmud Dulac. Painting would be something she would never stop doing in her life, Like Taylor Swift, her favorite singer, who shares her joy and sadness with countless ears by writing songs, painting is her way of self-expression. When she paints, she can feel that she is alive with voice, and the self generated from the void can move towards an infinite, and wants to create or resonate, or something unprecedented.

Wenqi
SVA illustration design
In Wenqi's eyes, New York is a city full of charm. She can't hold her heart to fly there. She wants to feel the freest art world in the world. There are countless excellent art creators living there. Dali will live in Paris and New York for a period of time every year. Andy Warhol decided to visit New York when he was 21 years old. Later, he started his subversive art craze in New York from commercial illustration. Taylor moved from Nashville to New York to create pop songs. In Sex and the City, it is said that girls go to New York to seek 2L. Wen Qi believes that the United States, Japan and France are three countries with mature illustration and animation industry, and the rights and interests of people engaged in artistic creation are more sound. Studying art and studying illustration design here is a downstream way, which can enable growing painters to focus on the handling of core contradictions.
Natural Light International Art Study
With this passion, Wenqi came to us in the first half of 19 years. After in-depth exchanges with teachers from Natural Light International Art Education Consulting Department and Album Training Art Department, she decided to apply for the master's program in American illustration. It is worth mentioning that she was still a junior student at that time, but she has had nearly three years of work experience. Wenqi has cooperated with cooperative enterprises in the illustration work of three sets of children's books. Two sets of books that have been completed and published have won praise from many readers within a few months, becoming "Dangdang's lifelong five-star book". Among them, "The Fairy Tales of Wavy Rabbit Growing up Independently" has been ranked top 10 in Dangdang's online children's book list for a long time, Over the past year, it has won five star praise from more than 70000 readers, and won the honor of "China's Top Ten Original Children's Books" from Dangdang. com. In the eyes of our art study application team, Wenqi is also a seed player with great potential.

At the initial stage of art study abroad application, the application team learned through detailed communication with Wenqi that Wenqi was eager to apply for the master's program of illustration in SVA. After analyzing the school's application requirements for art study abroad, we worked out a specific time plan for Wenqi. Wenqi also worked hard and worked hard, successfully brushing her TOEFL score from 80+to 99 at the end of August, At the same time, our overseas document teachers also successfully completed the first draft of the document. Although TOEFL is still one point away from the 100 points required by the school, after discussion with Wenqi, we decided to lend this point and the time and energy that compete with the application peak to the portfolio!
In late October, 19, Wenqi participated in the SVA admissions officer's meeting arranged by our art study application team. Through the exchange with the admissions officer, Wenqi was deeply inspired and had a clearer idea on the preparation of the collection of works for document illustration design. After many lectures, revisions and typesetting by Wenqi and her trainer, Wenqi created many satisfactory works, and completed the application of all colleges and universities around the middle of January.
After submitting the application, we and Wenqi are eager to wait for the feedback from the school every day. Wenqi, who has completed the application for art study abroad, has not relaxed. She has been creating new works, and the application team has also carefully replied to any valuable email sent by the school, regularly updating Wenqi's latest works and ideas to the school, And guided Wen Qi to successfully complete the interview with various colleges and universities.
The first good news comes from SCAD. After the group interview, the interviewer left Wenqi alone and carefully told her that if you are willing to come to SCAD, we will give you the highest scholarship. After consideration, Wen Qi accepted the offer and successfully won a scholarship totaling 21000 dollars.
Maybe things will be difficult. The target school SVA told us the news of waitlist at the beginning of March. Although we are sorry, our application team and Wenqi cherish the opportunity of wl. We believe that under the excellent background of Wenqi, tenacious willpower can also produce magic effects! With the help of the art collection training teacher and overseas documents, the art study application copy teacher helped Wenqi update her works and documents to the SVA admissions officer many times. The effort pays off. After two months of joint efforts, we received SVA on May 20 New York Institute of Visual Arts 's employment confirmation notice!! Everyone is delighted to think that this offer is destined to belong to Wenqi, and it has chosen the most romantic day to come!

Personal interview of illustration design abroad:
About Art Illustration Design for Studying Abroad
Q: With three years of work experience, what do you think of the current situation of domestic illustrators and comics?
A: As a domestic illustrator, I have seen that there are people who directly receive orders at home or work in teams. Generally speaking, design, packaging, etc. are also involved in the team. (It is better to meet like-minded people, and a group of people are also happy to draw) Personally, there are many situations. But what I want to say most is that I must stand on the position of illustrator, adhere to our principles, refuse free trial draft, refuse to sign a contract to receive the draft, not the money of one or two cents, really to denounce the labor force as an illustrator.
Inspiration of illustration design for art study abroad
As for how to maintain or stimulate creative inspiration, in fact, I did not deliberately look for this, but more from the daily accumulation! Inspiration is more of a touch. What kind of things can touch me? Well, give an example in life~! Inversion! Well, I don't know what you think of this. What I want to say is the inversion of the normal life, or the breaking of it. Break the established state and devote time to other things, so that you can taste the characteristics of new things, which may arouse people's inspiration.
About art students
Q: Why are art students always labeled as poor?
A: Will there really be such a label? I don't think so! I feel that art, like all majors, is just a way to success. There is no distinction between high and low in the road itself, and only good walking can make the difference between high and low. On the contrary, I think that art students have a simpler and more efficient way to prove themselves than many other professions - that is, to take out their works. When you can light up dry goods, you should never be reasonable.
