Li Ka-Shing
This is a pen illustration I did of Martin Li Ka-Shing, he is one of the richest man living in Hong kong, if not the richest person in East Asia coming 11th richest person in the whole world. He is the Chairman of Hutchison Whampoa Limited (HWL) and Cheung Kong Holdings, owning huge operators around HK and is definitely well known.
It interested me as I was born and raised in Hong kong, I wanted to create something that stood out and would be recognisable if I placed it around the city, he seemed fitting to illustrate and would give me good practise on my drawing skills. On the topic of city, my illustration represents geometric shapes as oppose to shading or fine lines, similar to how Hong Kong is surrounded by buildings and lines, bringing that concept towards this.
Even though this is quite simple, it taught me that less is more since majority of the time I like to go quite heavy with shading and details for that dark distinctive look. If I took this further, I would place this onto a painting of the city and include type and image on to it, not to promote anything political or negativity whatsoever but to tie in the mixed media with how Hong Kong is associated with and what my views are too, since art is so subjective opinion is just as valuable. I would also incorporate colour, to celebrate and represent how Hong Kong is so diverse.
