From age 9 doodles to 16: Korean teen's buildings fill 30-city colouring book

At 16, South Korean artist Leo Park has taken his detailed drawings of buildings and streets into a colouring book featuring 30 cities across the United Kingdom. The teenager, who began sharing his artwork on Instagram in 2019, has collaborated with British company Colour Your Streets on Enchanting British Cities, a collection of hand-drawn illustrations featuring famous landmarks and local architecture. The book was released in June as a limited edition.According to Colour Your Streets' official website, the collection includes illustrations of Oxford, Sheffield, Cambridge, Manchester and Liverpool. Unlike a conventional travel guide, the book lets readers add colour to Park's drawings. Each page contains detailed architectural features, along with hidden emblems incorporated into the scenes.For Park, drawing buildings is not simply about recording what he sees. His sketches often contain changes to the original structures, reflecting how he imagines a place could look.
