Lin's journey is a testament to the ever-evolving nature of artistic expression. Over a decade ago, she immersed herself in digital art, believing it was the key to success. However, true artistic revelation came through experimentation and a commitment to pushing creative boundaries.

The artist emphasizes continual growth, stating, "Drawing is a never-ending process." Lin's transition from black and white drawings to colorful digital art showcases her adaptability. 

The digital realm offered new possibilities, allowing her to explore diverse styles.

In Lin's words, "I'm pretty experimental when it comes to ergonomic implementation." Her artistic choices have led to distinct variations in her portfolio, each reflecting a unique facet of her creative exploration. 

The evolution from traditional to digital and back again became a crucial chapter in her artistic development.

The pivotal moment arrived when Lin decided to follow her heart and embrace the traditional Copic drawing style that she had cultivated over the years. "I can improve this, but who knows, my style may become more stable," she reflects. 

The decision marked a mature phase in her skill development.

She expresses herself fearlessly, blending darker tones inspired by comic book covers into her work. 

Lin believes that authenticity is the key to creating character in art. "If your art comes from who you are, your art will have character," she affirms.

Rachta Lin invites audiences to witness her multifaceted artistic expression, urging fellow creators to let their art be a reflection of who they are.
