Six Arts Illustration

Graphics, Illustration and Visual Communication Design Six Arts Illustration by Zhang Yuqi The Six Arts of Gentlemen is an illustration series based on the six arts of ancient China: ritual, music, archery, chariot skills, calligraphy and mathematics. The illustration presents these traditional educational subjects through character figures drawn in a new Chinese style. The work is created with digital painting software, using brush, airbrush and gradient tools to render light, shadow and texture. Traditional graphic motifs are added to detail expressions and eyes. The intent is to link traditional culture with digital art.
