Artist With Over 1.4 Million Followers Creates Astonishingly Beautiful Disney Fan Art Pieces
Each work of art that Ross Tran creates is whimsical, almost beyond measure.
For well over a decade, Ross Tran, also known as Ross Draws, has been delighting fans of art and illustration all over the world with his vibrant personality and incredible skill as an illustrator. He was only 16 when he began "seriously pursuing" art, and after high school, he moved to Los Angeles, where he graduated from ArtCenter College of Design with a degree in Industrial Design.
In 2020, he published NIMA - The Black Lotus, a "cinematic art book." When you read what he says about his masterpiece, you can't help but grow wide-eyed with wonder:
"NIMA is a true extension of my influences, my childhood inspirations, and who I am as a person. Since I grew up as an only child, I often found myself playing alone in my grandma's backyard. There, I spent my time creating worlds and stories and going on adventures with my imaginary friends. Once I was older, I knew I wanted to capture that same childlike energy and create a narrative art book.
Although entirely original, NIMA draws inspiration from my favorite anime, video games, and concept art books I grew up with. Each character is an extension of who I am or a person I know. Since I relied on many of my personal experiences to help shape this world, I feel that it's a true reflection of my life up to this moment."
For as long as Ross has been creating art, he has managed to sprinkle in opportunities to showcase his skills with some breathtaking Disney fan art. We are utterly convinced you'll love it as much as we do!
