Bored Pandagot in touch with Ba Pham, the artist behindArt Wind’sInstagram profile. The digital creator, based in Vietnam, is dedicated to character design, and you can admire the evolution ofBa Pham’s artfeatured in our list.We wanted to find out more about the artist’s background, and we learned that: “My artistic background is mainly self-study and self-training.

Character design often involves developing unique and relatable personas. We were wondering how the creator of Art Wind approaches the process of creating a character from scratch. The artist shared with us: “The main elements in character design are the character’s shape, posture, origin, and personality, those are the main elements that I care about in character design.”

Character design can be challenging and this is why we were curious if Ba Pham recalls working on some particularly difficult project or character design. We found out that: “I encountered a lot of difficulties when I first designed a character for a client because the way you design a character for yourself will be different from the way the customer asks you to design a character for them, so I encountered a lot of difficulties in the design process. So I researched a lot to be able to design a character that matched the customer’s requirements.”

Lastly, asked how the artist’s style and technique evolved over time, Ba Pham answered: “My style has evolved a lot over time as well as I have changed a lot of styles from realistic to animation, I have set myself a workout routine every day, I practice regularly and don’t miss a day, so my art has become better in the past 2 years. In my opinion, to be able to develop your art better and faster, you need to learn the basics and fundamentals. Artistic foundation plus practice, process and perseverance.”
