A great way to look at fashion is through the beautiful drawings of a talented illustrator captured on paper. Illustrators are a type of artist who expresses their artistic illustrations through their inspiration and the perceptions they see in their life experiences. Fashion is so important, and the way we present ourselves to the public can make a difference in a business opportunity, date night, or family gathering. We should remember that those designs we wear to those functions can begin with a talented illustrator.![]() |

Arica: Hi Shinn, I love your astonishing illustrations. Did you grow up drawing, and how did it develop into you becoming an illustrator?
Shinn Wen: Hi Arica, thank you for being interested in my illustrations! Yes, I did. I was born into an artistic family. When I was a small kid, maybe 4-5 years, I paid a lot of time quietly drawing, I so enjoyed it.
Most of my doodles were ladies wearing big dresses and jewelry, the same thing that I am doing now. I also sketched some new clothes for myself when I was older, and my mother made clothes for me according to those sketches with our old sewing machine.

Being influenced by my family, I was a lucky kid to grow up with plenty of fashion magazines and art books. My parents encouraged me to be an artist, as I did.
I was learning how to draw in both school and family. So naturally, I chose painting and fashion design as my major in the university. I have a master’s degree in one of the best universities in China, which is Tsinghua University.

I have more time for doing drawing being a teacher. Instagram helps me a lot to be a fashion illustrator because it opens the window of the whole world, helps us to find so many people with something in common, brings me inspiration, encouragement, and also clients.
I realize myself doing the same thing with my childhood, and I feel right when I am drawing.
Shinn Wen: I think I am truly inspired by an elegant lifestyle. It may be fashion, beauty, or timeless illustrations, it may be not real, but really attractive both to artists and the audience. I try to record and keep them eternal in my artworks with my own understandings and wishes.

Shinn Wen: Ok. My first book is named, Fashion painting techniques, and is published by China Textile & Apparel Press this March in Chinese.
I hope to express not only my fashion drawing skills but also my passion for fashion illustration. I worked on this book for almost 3 years to keep the quality and choose every image carefully by myself.
It includes hundreds of my fashion illustrations and their steps, and will be suitable for zero and professional readers,because it contains fashion figures, fabrics drawing and illustrations’ style. I wish someday it will be translated into other languages.
