Book Introduction
I finally found it.

A killer introduction to comics directing!

This book is a 'comic directing technique book' that contains the know-how of Dohyun, a webtoon artist who worked at Lezhin.
This webtoon lecture was serialized on Postype and received favorable reviews from aspiring cartoonists and webtoon artists, reaching 7,000 subscribers and 340,000 cumulative views.
This time, with the publication of the paper book, the content of the serial has been further refined and new content that was not in the serial has been added.


This book explains the theory of cartoon directing in an easy-to-understand way in the form of a cartoon, rather than in a rigid text.
Examples of directing techniques are directly applied within the cartoon.
You will learn quickly about the expression of time and space through character design and cut direction, methods of directing perspectives, types of shots, and methods of increasing readability.
If you read it with interest, you will not only gain an understanding of cartoon directing, but you will also be able to get a sense of direction for what kind of cartoon you want to draw.

Publisher's Review
The key to directing a cartoon is… the story.


… understanding the story and conveying your intentions in the scene (cut) by showing or hiding important things… This is, in my opinion, the basics of directing.
---Episode 1: In the end, the story is the key

This book explains cartoon directing in a cartoon format to make it easier to understand, so it is a smooth read all the way to the last chapter.
The power of direction in comics is that it makes readers follow the author's direction and read until the end.
No matter how beautiful the pictures are or how engaging the story is, if the direction is not good, the reader will lose interest and close the book or the window.
This book will teach you how to direct your drawings and stories so they shine even brighter.


This book covers the following topics:


- Think of comics as 'taking a picture of something with a camera and showing it to people'
- Intentionally directing to effectively convey important information in the story to the reader.
- How to express events and characters, which are the core information of the story
- How to represent space and time with the size and length of the cut
- Directing the viewpoint as if shooting with multiple cameras
- Increase readability to keep readers engaged until the end.
- A recommended comic genre when you're worried about not having a story to draw

Although this book covers the theory of comics writing called 'comic direction' up to the last episode, it doesn't feel like you're reading a book on writing because it's all composed of comics by artists.
You can learn about directing techniques in a fun and enjoyable way, just like reading a comic book, so even beginners who find theory books difficult can easily approach it.
