다시 그림이 그리고 싶어졌어
[I Feel Like Drawing Again]

Book Guide by K-BOOKS AND MORE

This is a new illustrated essay by “반지수 (Ban Jisoo)”, the author and illustrator of “보통의 것이 좋아 (I Like Ordinary Things)” and the cover illustrator of “어서오세요 휴남동 서점입니다 (Welcome to Hyunam-dong Bookstore)”.
As a self-taught artist with no formal training, during her uncertain and anxious days as an aspiring illustrator, she would often record her drawings, daily emotions, realizations, books she read, movies she watched, and her resolutions in a work journal.
She has now turned these into a book, offering empathy and comfort to readers who, like her past self, are dealing with their own struggles and worries.
It also includes practical content that can be helpful, especially for aspiring illustrators.

Compared to the author’s other illustrated essay, “I Like Ordinary Things”, the proportion of text has increased relative to the illustrations. Therefore, this book can be seen as requiring a higher upper-intermediate level of Korean, rather than being suitable for intermediate learners.
