This was quite a challenge to visually convey the message and symbols of the story, but I enjoyed creating the imagery for this short story!
I used line art throughout the comic, which aren’t perfect lines but are crooked and imperfect. I chose to do this because I believe it represented his emotional state, which was very unstable due to his reminder of his son’s death. I decided to keep this in black and white, to convey a somber feel of the short story. I believe the contrast also adds tension to some of the panels I drew. I also chose to have particular objects sticking out of the frame, such as the pen, to bring the viewer closer to the environment of the story.
