WEBTOON
Before start sketching, I did some reference on dog gestures from website. It was my very first time using a drawing tablet, and I tried to sketch out the boy and dog.

After complete my draft, I search for some colour palette for my comics. After research, I would like to implement complementary colour in costume of character in order to draw the audience's eye.
