He shared the process he created his work. "Usually, I will start with the idea. For me, everything around us can inspire us; a person, an animal, an object. I believe everything has its own story behind, maybe they have something to say, but sometimes, they just can’t talk. I am trying to tell the story for them."
"After I get the idea, I will research on the internet to make sure the thing I'm drawing has gone right, makes sense and no there aren’t any mistakes. Then, I will continue with the sketching and line art, followed by the coloring. All these steps are usually done on a computer. I use Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Animate to create my work."
