MA - Visual Development
Shuqing Si
I’m Shuqing Si, a visual development artist and illustrator passionate about blending traditional Chinese ink painting with modern elements in my work. I have a particular love for early 2D animated films produced by Shanghai Animation Film Studio (上海美术电影制片厂) and other early 2D animated feature films from Disney. My artistic journey began at Boston University, where I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Film and Television, minoring in East Asian Studies and Fine Art. Later, I completed my Master’s degree at the Academy of Art University in 2024. Currently, my work has gained recognition on social media, reflecting my passion for traditional culture and early 2D animated films. I enjoy blending traditional techniques with innovative approaches to create refreshing artworks. I’m looking forward to being in a supportive environment where I can create artworks with a strong and unique artistic style.
