“THE TURTLE”

Is a short 10 page silent comics story about  the life of a rather shy 4 year old boy who is learning to navigate the world. The comic was part of a workshop held at "La galeria Roja" with Scott McCould in Dec 2019.
The main focus of the workshop was being able to communicate a very clear visual message or narrative by being careful and deliberate about our choice of drawings, symbols and details that are included.

The goal was to come up with a short story involving (in my case) a turtle. There are of course infinite ways to approach this, but I thought I wanted to incorporate a turtle-like behavior rather an actual turtle (which in the end was also part of the story).

I wanted the finished work to feel shy visually and opted for a shy, purposefully insecure and interrupted light pencil line and light and sparingly used colors.
