On October 20, a reporter from Modern Express contacted Lumingshan, and she told the story behind her creation. Lumingshan is from Guiyang and is 28 years old this year. A few years ago, she was a well-known painter in the circle. Seeing her paintings, many netizens thought she must be the "Liangjiazi" who has been learning painting since childhood. In fact, Lu Mingshan has not received professional training, and her existing achievements are basically all she has figured out by herself.
"I like to draw since I was a child, but I really want to draw by myself because of an experience in junior high school. At that time, I looked forward to becoming a cartoonist in the future." Lu Mingshan's tutoring was relatively strict, and he could not go out to play often, and he didn't have many friends. In junior high school, comics became her friend. "Comics are a very important part of my adolescence. At that time, I wondered if I could start trying to draw and print my works in publications." Since then, she has been learning about painting books by herself, and she has not paid much attention to it. She just shows the scenes in her heart through colors. When he arrived in high school, Lu Mingshan drew a lot of youth-themed comics and began to try to contribute, but unfortunately, the works he submitted received no response. "At that time, my grades were good. My family wanted me to take the path of cultural exams, but I finally compromised and came to Chengdu to study medicine."
After eight years of studying medicine, she finally changed her career and became a Chinese-style illustrator
Although the major at Lumingshan University has nothing to do with painting, she never thought of giving up painting.During college, she studied and practiced painting. That life was still quite difficult. Although she had a manuscript, the price was not high and she couldn't support herself. But she said that the happiness brought by that painting was very pure.
In 2017, Lu Mingshan graduated from undergraduate degree in five years and was admitted to the postgraduate degree in sports medicine. A few months before her graduate school registration, she worked as an assistant to a well-known domestic cartoonist and learned a lot of professional knowledge from there. This experience was very valuable to her. This cartoonist was also Lu Mingshan's first true painting teacher. At that time, Lu Mingshan began to create comics with the theme of Shanhai Jing, devoted her efforts over the past years and earned her first pot of gold - 3,000 yuan in manuscripts.

This comic also let more people in the industry know about her little cartoonist. She began to sign a publishing house for manuscripts and sign contracts, and more and more commercial manuscripts... At this time, Lu Mingshan suddenly realized: Can the dream of childhood be realized? After graduating from graduate school, Lu Mingshan convinced her parents who did not support her painting and became an illustrator. She persisted all the way until now. This transformation was "brave" for her.
Bird anthropomorphic picture is sketch , but she didn't expect it to be popular
Speaking of the popular bird anthropomorphic picture on the Internet, Lu Mingshan said that this is actually her creative sketch of her practice, which can be loved by so many netizens. She didn't expect when she created it. Last year, Lu Mingshan's father fell ill. She spent a lot of time with her care in the hospital. When she was a little free, she would pick up her brush and draw sketches to practice her hands. "One day I saw a National Geographic magazine and saw a group of photos of birds. I found it very interesting. Based on the original film, I drew an anthropomorphic version." After the drawing, I posted it casually on the social platform. Unexpectedly, I looked at it again a week later and found that this set of pictures became popular. The various expressions of the anthropomorphic pictures are full of imagination, and the cute contrasts create a wonderful effect. Lu Mingshan told the Modern Express reporter that the birds' postures are light and elegant, and she immediately thought of anthropomorphizing them into lively boys. The naughty boy, beautiful girl, little book boy, knight... netizens' love also confirms that her idea is correct.
In addition to traditional Chinese monster pictures, she has also participated in the production of posters for movies such as " Wind Spell " and "Buld Demon King". She is becoming more and more well-known in the industry and has more and more fans. Now Lu Mingshan has full-time painting, and his hobbies have become professions. Painting will accompany her through the trough and will continue to walk with her.
