Sketches

I wanted to communicate with this sketches the reconnection of friendships and convey the loneliness of the character at the same time.

Final Illustration

In the final image we see the character sitting with his laptop, trying to get in touch with old friends, we can see their reflection on the other side of the window. I wanted to convey the idea of reconnection with the past.
