The Outlying Town
This is a black and white short comic which I drawn at 10/2008~01/2009. I love discovering folk stories and like to incorporate them into my creative work.

I enjoyed it and in my second year, I traveled to that site to collect local art elements and experienced lives there. In my third year, I drawn this short comic, which depended on Congwen's novel and the site's local conditions, such as architecture, nature landscape and human characteristic.
