Amily Shen

She majored in Visual Communication Design in university and is currently a full-time illustrator. She has collaborated on the publication of numerous children’s books, and her work has been featured in books, newspapers, magazines, and product packaging. In just one year, she achieved a remarkable sales record of 350,000 copies, with 100,000 copies sold in Taiwan alone. Her works have also been licensed for international publication in a total of 16 countries! In 2018, she was honored with an Honorable Mention at the JIA Japan Illustration Award.
Before dedicating herself to illustration, Amily worked in graphic and web design and even served as a shoe designer. However, she found that she enjoyed drawing far more than designing, relishing the process of capturing her imaginative ideas through words and images. As a result, she began creating art in her spare time and sharing her illustrations online.
Amily specializes in creating artwork using hand-drawn lines and colored pencil techniques. Her instructional books, which primarily feature ballpoint pen drawings, such as “1000 Cute Patterns ★ The Cutest Way to Draw Them! The Ultimate Guide to Colorful Ballpoint Pen Art,” “★ The Sweetest! The Most Glamorous! Over 1000 Dreamy Patterns ★ The Ultimate Guide to Vibrant Ballpoint Pen Art,” and “Drawing Without Fail! A Coloring Activity Book,” have all become annual bestsellers in Taiwan, South Korea, and Thailand.
