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.
Ross Tran, better known online as Ross Draws, has spent years turning bright color, bold imagination, and pure technical skill into art that keeps fans coming back for more. By the time he was 16, he was already seriously pursuing art, and after high school he moved to Los Angeles, where he later graduated from ArtCenter College of Design with a degree in Industrial Design.
In 2020, he released NIMA - The Black Lotus, a cinematic art book shaped by his own memories, favorite stories, and childhood imagination. That same creative energy shows up in his Disney fan art, and the results are hard to look away from.
From princess battles to iconic villains, Ross keeps finding new ways to make familiar characters feel fresh. Read on.
