Welcome to Artist’s Spotlight, an ongoing series on pixiv’s official YouTube account! On Artist’s Spotlight, we interview artists around the globe who are active on pixiv to shed light on their work and how they create their illustrations. These interviews often discuss topics related to the business of illustration, such as how to take your skills to the next level as a creator and things to keep in mind as a professional, making them a valuable source for both aspiring and professional illustrators.

For this feature, we spoke to Airi Pan, a Los Angeles-based concept designer and illustrator who has worked with top clients such as Netflix, Blizzard, and Pixar. This article contains excerpts from our interview, some snippets that didn’t make it into the video, and showcases some examples of her work!

For the full interview, check out the video linked at the end of the article!
