I would say that I am still a beginner, but this job gave me a perfect excuse to watch a classic horor movie, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974). After watching it I feel that I'm now on my way to becoming a big fan of horor movies.Of course, the murderer with a mask and chainsaw is the scariest thing in the movie. So I drew the main character in low angle. Then I put scared victims behind. Masks made by human skins are on the back. I used limited colors to make dark, rough and scary mood." - Dongyun Lee
