Dylan Duan

I'm an artist working with ink, gouache, and mixed media. I love drawing highly detailed black-and-white scenes and painting big, vibrant pieces.

Life After-Effects — pen & ink, Dylan Duan

Life After-Effects

Pen & Ink · No Underdrawing

Drawn entirely freehand — no underdrawing, just pen and ink. My take on a chaotic aftermath: figures dropping into a busy, tumbling world. I packed as many tiny hidden details into the background as I could.

Street Corner — gouache painting, Dylan Duan

Street Corner

Gouache & Acrylic on Canvas

A snapshot of an everyday street corner at dusk. I wanted to capture the contrast in city life: some people rushing with papers flying, others just taking a breather — same moment, totally different worlds.

Recurrence Between Two Best Friends

White Ink & Gouache on Black Paper

White ink on black paper — a giant wolf made of stars facing a small person. Long-term friendships can feel so much bigger than us. It's about that deep, recurring connection that keeps coming back over years.
