Chuting Qin is an illustrator and author of children’s books. She studied art education in China as an undergraduate, which helped her to understand some of the psychological and educational aspects of children. She likes to mix different materials in her picture books, and pop-up books are also her preferred form of creation.
The Leopard In the Mountain
The story is based on Chuting’s childhood experience, fear of being alone to suit the preferences of others, and hiding the true self to fit in with the group. The leopard of this story feels lonely too, because of the stereotype that everyone is afraid of him, he tries to disguise himself to look like a human being and blend in with the village, but it doesn’t work out the way he wants……
This project was made predominantly with collage, gouache, and colored pencil.
In the Forest
In the Forest is a silent book, the story of a young girl who goes into the forest to catch fireflies. This is also a pop-up book, creating a forest through different pop-up structures.
The whole book is drawn in pencil, in black, white, and yellow.
