du họa / into the arts

Du Họa, a brief suspense story, takes readers on a mystical journey through Vietnamese folk art. I’ve always been enthralled with mysteries and thrillers, especially those written by Junji Ito and Oh Seong Dae. This was an unusual story about an art student who got lost while searching through various antique paintings for a missing rooster.

process: idea & sketches

Although I tried to give the protagonist a distinctive hairstyle in an effort to achieve a twist that would be self-explanatory, looking back, I feel that the last two pages (8 and 9) have a disjointed flow. I believe adding a page would have provided readers with stronger hints.
