The Project:
This project holds a special place in my heart. Back in 2009, during a school class, I sketched a turtle in a school notebook (unfortunately, the original got lost over time). Years later, while studying digital painting, I revisited the drawing, digitized it, and added color. In 2019, a full decade after that first sketch, now working as a motion designer, I decided to animate it, exploring visual effects and post-production, creating something I’m still very proud of.

Now, I’m finally sharing this passion project and the story behind this piece that means so much to me.
