Character Design with ABCStorytelling

Anietha Charles, owner of the blog ABCStorytelling is an avid writer and illustrator. In her recent writing, Colours on the Wall, she speaks about a colour blind protagonist, Arona, who lives her life in a wheelchair accompanied by her dog, Nuri. Herself and Nuri have a deep connection associated to their related colour blindness. She feels like an outcast amongst others and her journey begins as she starts to question colour.

Aneitha accompanies each chapter with a relating illustration, first in black and white, then in colour. They help to enhance her story and gives the reader a more personal look into Arona's life and struggle. She has a distinct style in her illustrations, very anime inspired, and using her depiction of Arona, I am going to attempt to create myself into a character that can visually fit into the story.
