Drawing with Xu Jingru at the International Comics Seminar

As part of the International Comics Seminar in Erlangen, Xu Jingru and Stephan worked together during a session. Here you can see how they draw each other and together draw Leo Flemisch, the third member of their group. The first pictures show how she draws him.
Their joint works will be exhibited at the next Comic Salon in 2026. One highlight of Xu Jingru's work is the 54-meter-long “Shenzhen Cartoon Map” at Shenzhen International Airport—a cultural landmark that delights visitors from all over the world. Xu Jingru is a wonderful person and a great artist!

Here you can see them drawing each other and Leo Flemisch, our third member of the team. The first visuals show her drawing him (if you don't see the resemblance).
