A sign is a comic based on my first ever short film in 2020.
One of my most remarkable comic works is called "A Sign," and it was created via a collaboration between myself and one of my favourite caricaturists. She has also taught me in the fundamentals of drawing. My own personal experiences coping with anxiety served as the impetus for writing this essay. My anxiety, however, does not prevent me from writing, and, on the contrary, it really encourages me to go on with my life and become more resilient. This narrative is somewhat made up in order to generate drama and dynamic situations that centre on romantic relationships and mental health awareness.
Some story synopsis;

As a result, Maya follows the same routine every day. travel to and from work and home And if there are any disruptions from the pattern.
Harry has been keeping an eye on Maya, unbeknownst to her. Although he is attracted in Maya, but he finds it difficult to approach Maya since Maya has been a really focus with her own things. He almost gave up until one night, while riding his motorcycle home, he noticed Maya with a panicky face still waiting for her bus home.
He was about to miss it because of the past rejections from other girl, when he noticed Maya wiping her tears away. She appeared terrified and alone, so Harry decided to approach Maya and ask if she needed any assistance.
