He Finally Does It: A Narrative Character Portrait by Christian Rodriguez (2015)

In my graphic novel I wrote about a guy who tried to get the girl. The basic story is that the guy keeps wanting to ask the girl out but gets nervous or discouraged, but in the end he asks the girl out and she says yes. I found it difficult to summarize my graphic novel into one climactic scene. There were many scenes leading up to the scene I chose, and they were also very interesting.

The specific scene I chose to illustrate was a scene where my character decides that he is finally going to ask the girl out, and he starts to run after her. Although I had used Illustrator a few times before, this project was a cool new experience . It was hard to use linear perspective because every line had to be leading to one point. Also there were times when the color would not look right. I had to experiment with different colors to find the best one.
