"My focus was heavily positioned towards working in both digital and traditional formats to create characters in motion. I knew that I strongly wanted to incorporate themes of identity, movement, living in the moment as well as how memories are formed through the connections we make. Early ideas were still heavily focused on characterisation – more specifically how I could display the theme and message of my piece through the use of characterising my friends and drawing them in my own unique cartoony style. From the artists I explored, I quickly went down a path of doing figure drawings from photo references of my friends skating at a skate park."
