Ruofan Ma Illustration

Introduction: I am an illustrator and graphic novelist, who has just completed the MFA at Academy of Art University in Illustration major. I focused on Graphic Novel drawing when I was in school, and besides that, I have also learned Fine Art from masters like Zhaoming Wu, and developed sophisticated oil painting skills in the past three years in AAU. Storytelling and creative visual narrating are my strengths. To apply Western painting techniques that I have learned, depicting still life and figures in a realistic yet expressive way is my second interest. Developing a style that combines both East and West is my academic goal. Also, using Western genres such as Graphic Novel to tell stories from different cultural backgrounds is what I want to do as my future career.
