“I will teach you the coloring elements that many people find difficult to study on their own as easily as possible.”
Optimization Routine to Color Numerous Cuts Efficiently and Quickly

What part do prospective students expect to have the most difficulty with?
While coloring a webtoon, I thought, 'What should I do now?' It will be the most difficult when you think like this. In this lecture, we will teach you through theory and practice what standards you should use to change colors or do additional work when you get stuck, and we will find a solution so that you can do it to a certain level on your own in the future.
Question.03
What are your strengths/differentiations?
What are your strengths/differentiations?
‘Creating an atmosphere with color’. Unless you have some experience and knowledge about color, it is not easy to create the intended atmosphere. In particular, those who only know the basics will have a lot of concerns about which color to use in which situation. We will teach you as much as possible how to control and use color in specific situations and the knowledge that serves as a standard.
