Wonderful Picnic is not your ordinary picture book. Yuke Li, a talented illustrator, delves into the world of emotions, using tight lines, loose lines, organized lines, and crazy lines to express different feelings. Each line becomes a single element, creating a mesmerizing visual experience for readers.
The story revolves around little fox Jonny, who sets off on a picnic but loses his hat along the way. As Jonny frantically chases his hat, he becomes overwhelmed and starts to lose himself. Li's illustrations beautifully depict Jonny's emotional journey, reminding readers of the importance of staying true to oneself.
Using her expertise in Photoshop, Li brings her illustrations to life. She meticulously sketched out the entire story, selecting the most intriguing pages to develop further. Through research on foxes, interior design, and plants, she transformed five key illustrations into vibrant, colorful masterpieces.
One of the challenges Li faced was arranging the different colors harmoniously. However, her attention to detail and artistic sensibility allowed her to create a visually stunning book that captivates both children and adults alike.
Wonderful Picnic is not just a book; it is an invitation to embark on a journey of imagination. Yuke Li's creativity and talent shine through in every page, making this picture book a must-have for anyone seeking a unique and emotionally resonant reading experience.
