EXPLAINED: Traditional art of the week cotoh | Rare Historical Photos

COTOH artwork.

COTOH (aka Cotoh Sumi) has been an illustrator since 2017 and transitioned into contemporary art after collaborating with musicians and apparel companies. By using mass production techniques, COTOH challenges the traditional perception of commercial art in Japan.

COTOH uses a mixture of oils and acrylic paints to create their striking portraits. If you want to try traditional art, read our advice in how to mix traditional art and digital art techniques. We've also found some good deals on Moleskins for sketching. See more art and learn about upcoming gallery exhibitions on COTOH's Instagram.
