Float Process Work
Float is a story that I wrote my sophomore year of college, based off of my personal experiences dealing with anxiety and learning to swim at a young age. I started the process of illustrating the book with multiple rounds of storyboards and sketches. Then I moved into character designs and the book cover. Finally, I started on finalized sketches and final illustrations.
