Qingru Yang

Hi, I’m Qingru Yang. I graduated from the School of Visual Arts (BFA illustration) and the Maryland Institute College of Art (MFA Illustration Practice). I focus on narrative illustration, often drawing from people and moments in daily life. I love using bright colors and risograph-inspired textures to bring warmth and humor into my work. My illustrations have been recognized by the China Illustration Biennial, iJungle Illustration Awards, and Creative Quarterly.

If you’re interested in my work, don't hesitate to contact me.
