Seeing your work improve continuously, doesn't it bring you a great sense of achievement?

The biggest feature of comics is that they allow you to fully unleash your imagination. Not only can you break free from some conventional thinking in the content of the illustrations, but you can also constantly innovate in your drawing techniques and boldly express yourself.

Beyond focusing on color coordination, you must also master many other color expression techniques, including special effects in painting, to make the scene more rich and vibrant. Therefore, in comic illustration, to fully capture the personality of the characters or the atmosphere of the scene you want to portray, you cannot afford to miss any means of "expression." In this book, the author shares some of the commonly used but relatively unique illustration techniques based on their own experience, hoping to provide reference for everyone.
