In Ray He's view, comics are similar to films, they are the best mediums for telling a story visually. Ray once said that although she has been in the habit of drawing since she was a child, her path to comics art was a winding one, starting with art classes through elementary and high school, spending her childhood drawing away while watching television. After senior high, she would continue to draw simple comics, and the narrative and storyboard skills that she developed in college as a film student were nourishments for her work in comics.
