Aiping Zhang (she/her)

Hello, I am an illustrator from China. I love cats and studying traditional culture.

During my study at Cambridge School of Art, I felt the surprise brought by different painting materials, and I started to study the materials such as pastel, opaque watercolour, etc. to try more hand-painted creations.

I like to paint the details of the picture, such as some decorative patterns, and this process is very enjoyable to me. I hope to convey delicate and warm images to readers through simple stories. And I also hope that the excellent traditional culture can be noticed, understood and appreciated by more people. Ancient Fashion Guide is my first non-fiction work, and it is also my first step to promote the traditional culture of my hometown. I will keep working hard on the road of painting and strive to create better works!
