Bright, vibrant, and all around playful, Yinfan Huang’s illustrations are a burst of color. “I think in colors,” Huang revealed in an interview with AI-AP. “When I start a new illustration I first think about the atmosphere I want to convey, and the main color in my head which associates with that atmosphere. Everything else comes naturally once I get the right color.”
Born in China, Huang followed her artistic passion to the United States at the age of 22. “I was rejected by every art college in China,” she recalled. “The fact that I was not accepted and couldn’t pursue what I loved was a huge pain to me. But in my heart, I always knew I was different and I dreamed of being a professional artist and illustrator. So at the age of 22, I made my biggest decision in life to leave China to pursue my passion in the United States, where I felt I would receive a quality education in my chosen field.”
Her decision proved right as she now works full time as an illustrator, adding a colorful twist to children’s books, magazines, brands, and institutions around the world.
