Red Hair lives in a small town where no one else looks like her. Looking conspicuous has always bothered her, especially when people remind her of her difference…

 

Back in my teenage years, I had a hard time accepting the way I look. The experience sparked the idea for this picture book, which is about learning to embrace your uniqueness. All the illustrations were hand-painted and later digitally edited. I used limited color palette to emphasize the red parts, and created textures that soften the atmosphere.

 

Hello! I am Yiching, a Taiwanese illustrator and birder. I believe in the beauty and value of nature, and I hope that my practice can convey and promote it.
