Portrait of King Rama 6

I researched about him [King Rama 6] and found that he’s Thailand's first cartoonist, the first to publish drawings in magazines. Originally, they are called ‘Pap Lor’ which is a type of cartoon. I took the inspiration of using lines mostly instead of colouring and using greyscale to recreate the sense of cartoons that he used to draw.

In the whole process, what I enjoyed the most was when I painted the background because I think it was kind of fun when I tried to splash the paint over the frame.

For me, the most challenging part of the process was when I had to draw every element, like King Rama VI, the building, and the uniformed student, onto the frame because I don’t really good at drawing pictures, but I tried my best to do it.

Through creating my art contribution, I learned lots of things, especially for my drawing skill that I don’t have to draw to make it look similar to the picture I have for example, but I can draw only what I saw on it, because it can be a unique way how I represent my artwork.
