    HQ: The Origins

    “The Origins” is a personal social project that portrays figures from Brazilian
    history. Extensive research was conducted to determine the colors, costumes,
    and settings of the comic book so that it would accurately reflect history.

    The techniques used included a digital pencil-and-watercolor effect, combined
    with a well-defined color palette of orange and brown tones, to convey a sense
    of something old, warm, and, in a way, even primitive.
