My story revolves around Aisha, a young girl, running into her estranged father with his new family at the park and the reaction that follows. Aisha’s mother is very worried about how her daughter will react and opts to leave immediately. Aisha, on the other hand, wants to stay and reconcile with her father. The novel’s climax shows Aisha being dragged away but looking back at her father. Aisha eventually runs back and hugs her father, signaling reconciliation. Her mother realizes that maybe she can learn something about forgiveness from her daughter. The final scene depicts Aisha’s mother, father and his new wife watching their children play together. In part of my graphic novel, I hint that things had ended badly between Aisha’s parents by showing a torn wedding photo. This is the scene I chose to depict in my illustration because I thought it would be somewhat challenging to draw and would also be visually appealing. I used Adobe Illustrator to create this illustration. I used the pen tool and fill colors to make the basic outlines and do the basic coloring of everything in this image.
