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.
