Invited by Beijing German Cultural Center Goethe-Institut (China), Axel Scheffler, a famous German children's cardboard picture book illustrator, will visit China in September. He held three cardboard picture book illustration lectures in Chongqing, Chengdu and Shanghai, China, telling Chinese readers the creative story behind his cardboard picture book works.
Schaeffler's most famous cardboard picture book work is "The Gruffalo", which he co-created with British writer Julia Donaldson. The cardboard picture book has now been translated into more than 40 languages, making him one of the most successful children's cardboard picture book illustrators in the world.
The protagonist of the cardboard picture book "The Gruffalo" is a clever little mouse who spreads the news about a super monster to all the animals in the forest. The prototype of the cardboard picture book story comes from the Chinese story of "Fox Fake Tiger Might". "The Gruffalo", the sequel to the "Gruffalo" cardboard picture book, has been adapted into a film and a play.
Axel Schaeffler's cardboard picture book illustrations are well-liked by children and adults alike with bright colors, clear lines, and rich detail. The inspiration for his cardboard picture book not only comes from the story itself, but also from his daily life.
He first used a pencil to outline the outline of the cardboard picture book, then used an ink pen to highlight the lines, and then filled in with watercolors and crayons, so the cardboard picture book was rich in layers, lively and vivid, creating an immersive effect. Moreover, the characters and animals in his cardboard picture book are vivid and fascinating.
During this trip to China, Schaeffler will also read books with Chinese children, do a cardboard picture book illustration workshop, and perform improvisational performances.
Axel Scheffler was born in Hamburg, Germany in 1957. Schaeffler studied art history in Hamburg before moving to England in 1982 to study cardboard picture book illustration at Bath University of the Arts. He has been working in London since then as an independent cardboard picture book illustrator. Schaeffler is best known for his series of illustrations for children's cardboard picture book, The Gruffalo, which he co-created with author Yulia Donaldson. The Gruffalo cardboard picture book series has sold more than 13.5 million copies in 50 countries around the world. Schaeffler now lives in London.
