So the study on comic drawing styles are inevitable check point for investigating it's animation. To analyse of the style of animation drawing, can be employed the styles of comic drawing. For a case study, comic authors and their works is utilized for establishing basic concept of transferring comic to animation with the influence of drawing styles to animation and than it will apply to classify and analyse animation by them. The consequence of this study, it can be sorted in the three areas that are the cheerful comic, the drama, the boy-meets-girl comic. and can be proved that the close relationship of comic and animation. Among three aspects, a boy-meets-girl comic can not be detected in any selected animations. The presumption of this result that can be apply to the general idea which is a rare case to use in animation. Also to use partly cheerful comic to drama style as different drawing styles is for elucidating the effect of intending isolation with the play theory of Bertolt Brecht and empathizing dramatical situation through the disparity of emotion.

It'll be the basis of the cultivating student, the next generation in this field who are majoring in animation, comics and characters now. It will give them a good environment to learn more about copyright and motivate surroundings. With this kind of education, We can make and protect works better. This thesis is a result of study to show how to and when to instruct people copyright even though we have faced constant argument on copyright and new approach to the economic value of cultural contents which has been under industrialization. Also, another big issue is what class would be a good target of the education on copyright. College may be the last place in the regular course for education before starling his or her career. Thus, the education that is focused on the importance of copyright is recommendable at this time. Particularly, the students who are majoring carton, animation and character can keep a good attitude to protect copyrights for others through the timely education on copyright. What's more, we can build better environment for students who will start their career in the field of the cultural contents and copyrights because they will not only try protect copyrights for others but also they know their works will be protected through thls kind of education on copyright.

Webtoon has developed the method that makes it possible to express sound visually. Also we can also hear sound in webtoon through the development of web technology. It is natural that we analyze the sound that we can hear, but we can also analyze the sound that we can not hear. This study is based on 'dual code' in cognitive psychology. Cartoonists can make visual expression on the basis of auditive impression and memory, and readers can recall the sound through the process of memory and memory-retrieval. This study analyzes both audible sound and inaudable sound. Concise analysis owes the method to film sound theory. Three main factor, Volume, pitch, and tone are recognized by frequency in acoustics. On the other hand they are expressed by the thickness and site of line and image of sound source. The visual expression of in screen sound and off screen sound is related to the frame of comics. Generally the outside of frame means off sound, but some off sound is in the frame. In addition, horror comics use much sound for the effect of genre like horror film. When analyzing comics sound using this kinds of the method film sound analysis, we can find that webtoon has developed creative expression method comparing with simple ones of early comics. Especially arranging frames and expressing sound following and vertical moving are new ones in webtoon. Also types and arrangement of frame has been varied. BGM is the first in using audible sound and recently BGM composed mixing sound effect is being used. In addition, the program which makes it possible for readers to hear sound according to scroll moving. Especially horror genre raise the genre effects using this technology. Various methods of visualizing sound are being created, and the change shows that webtoon could be the model of convergence in contents.

After liberation, Korean society experienced drastic social change with Korean War, and industrial economy and democratic system developed as modernization and democratization occurred. However, Korean traditional culture dissolved more severely as Korean society developed industrial economy and democracy. As criticism of existing Western center of society and the emphasis of cultural identity of non-western regions and third-world, world society preferred exchange of culture of diverse nations and people with each other in advent of postmodernism thoughts in mid-late 20th century. If the cultural identity of Korea was dissolving meanwhile, it was needed to be recovered again. Despite the research in Korean history, language, art, architecture was performed to recover cultural identity of Korea, it did not go in-depth with Korean mythology, for Korean mythology is considered as superstition or savage. Mythology shows subconscious group psychology of people who live in certain specific region. Studying Korean mythology is one of the ways to rediscover cultural identity of Korea. In order for Korean mythology to be known to many people, its stories should be told by media. There were movies, plays, drama, and novels produced based on existing Korean mythology as introduction, then these mythical stories are appear in subculture contents such as recent comics, animation, webtoon, games, and light novels. Then population of game players and webtoon readers increased as dissemination of PC and smart phones, and increasing market scale of subculture contents increased a population of consumers of comics, animation, and light novel. Consumers of sub-culture contents were interested as many of these contents were created, base on Korean mythology.

Since the first episode of (1995) by Pixar, a world leading animation company, 3D animation has been focused on realistic motion and rendering techniques. However, in 2018, 3D animation was released, with unique backgrounds created through illustration techniques and dynamic movements of characters that seemed to be produced by hand rather than computers. It shows a lot of difference from other 3D animations. In this study, I analyzed 's new production techniques and expressions into two categories, first, the use of old comics techniques, and second, other factors that made the animation stand out. in 3D animation market focused on realistic motion and rendering techniques can have positive implications in terms of expanding animation diversity. This study is expected to be used as academic or research data for researchers studying new production techniques in related fields.
