夏达

出道：从小喜欢画 大学未毕业就已出书

夏达，1981年4月4日出生于湖南怀化，4月出生，逢夏至未达，故名夏达，“这是我爷爷留给我的名字，达也取 达则兼济天下 之意。”

从小夏达就喜欢画画，学过写意、工笔，她尤其喜欢看漫画，但是直到初中的某一天，她才突然意识到漫画原来是人画出来的，“那个时候太震惊了，简直像造物主一样的存在，我就希望自己能成为这样一个人。”

正式跨进漫画领域大概从高中开始，夏达最早于《北京卡通》杂志发表短篇作品《成长》，第一次投稿她就收到了编辑部老师的长篇手写回复，大受鼓舞。2003年她大学还未毕业，就已出版首部漫画作品《四月物语》。

经历：挨过饿，吃过苦，生病靠死扛

创业初期，夏达住在北京，为了不让家里人担心，她骗家人，稿费很高，其实几乎没有什么收入，付完房租就所剩无几了，除了画画，她几乎不出门。

夏达说:“我长这么大，从来没有洗过碗和衣服。”但是在北京最艰苦的那段时间里，不仅要一切亲历亲为，还经常忍饥挨饿，“有一次我生病了，没钱看病买药，早上起来着急画画，两眼一黑就摔倒了，醒来已经是黄昏，不知道过了多少个小时。”

“7年，挨过饿，吃过苦，生病靠死扛，不出门是因为躺着抗饿，瘦是因为消化系统彻底紊乱，头发长是因为没钱理发。每天拷打着自己的精神和体魄，作画，作画。我祭上了自己的命。”夏达曾在博客中写道。

创举：作品登上日本顶级漫画杂志

2008年，夏达一举夺得第五届OACC金龙奖最佳故事漫画少女组金奖，她漫画创作也由此达到一个新的高峰。2009年2月，她十年磨一剑的长篇漫画《子不语》得到日本集英社总编辑长茂木行雄和著名漫画编辑松井荣元的大力推荐，正式登陆日本，与日本顶级漫画大师同刊连载于日本顶级漫画杂志《UltraJump》。

夏达的漫画在日本广受好评。然而，就在此时，一件突发的事情首次让夏达跳出“漫画圈”进入“公众视野”，开始走红网络。网上流传她的一组个人照，照片中的她，不施粉黛、清丽脱俗，宛若她笔下漫画中的美少女。有人甚至认为是她的清纯长相秒杀了日本宅男。“当时觉得像是晴天霹雳，感觉一举抹杀了我十年的努力一样。”夏达在接受采访时曾说，“我是一个漫画家，又不是艺人，我不需要大家认识我这张脸 ”

她是一个工作狂，每次截稿前，夏天岛工作室里往往会杀得人仰马翻，连续三天不吃不喝不睡逐渐成为一种生存状态。“如果能停笔一天，我希望可以好好陪陪我的四只猫儿（有两只是她在路边捡回的流浪猫），和朋友聊天、逛街、打扮漂亮一些外出旅行，烟花三月下扬州。”这是夏达最近最大的心愿。
