The Back Story

Living in Harmony

How animals perceive the world

I’ve always been fascinated by the idea that animals could cohabit in the humans world and live harmoniously, and this is where the idea came from. I selected a limited yet fictional color palette to depict the situation that hasn’t been archived. Digital programs allow me the explore the futuristic effect I hoped to create in this illustration, and I’m hoping to create a series of works based on the concept of animal and human cohabitation.

The Process

The idea came from an article I read called “How Animals Perceive the World,” which is about how humans intervention changed animals senses and their living habitats. I first created 12 sketches and discuss with my professor, and decided to take a maximalist approach to depict my imaginary ideal world with animals. I think the most difficult part is to design what these animals should be doing and wearing in this illustration, but after watching lots of other artists work and color palettes, I felt excited to experiment with colors, removing line work, and design and fictional world that I did not usually do in the past.
