Level 1: Rewards - IncrediCoders/Python1 GitHub Wiki

Grafika Turtle added this page on March 14, 2023

IMPORTANT: Make sure you complete Level 1 before you read this page!

Hi, this is Grafika here! I'm going to give you your rewards for completing Level 1.

First, don't cheat! If you haven't finished Level 1 yet, go back and do that! That means that you got all the way through Level 1 in the book. If you get stuck, go get help on the Level 1 Help page.

Did you go back to finish Level 1? So everyone still reading this has actually finished Level 1?

Well then...

Congratulations! You have completed Level 1 - Turtle Map!

Your rewards are:

• Grafika Turtle Design - See the process in designing her illustrations in the book!
• Art from the extra page of what's in Paul's backpack
• Level 1 production art
• The Digital Copy of your Turtle Award

Grafika's design started really with figuring out her hat! We wanted to make her personality come through with her sense of style, so we went through many ideas before settling on her beret. For example, here she's wearing a wide brimmed hat that brought out how caring she can be:

However we needed her speed and aerodynamic self to come through, so we switched gears and started really fleshing out a more dynamic sense of clothing:

We liked having her clothes telling us the agility and speed she'd portray in the story, but then we realized, her posture and posing could do that too:

This is were we settled on Grafilka's favorite beret! Some more sketches of her wearing it:

And this is Grafika as you've seen her in the comics!

In this example of early artwork on Grafika Turtle, Brenna illustrated Grafika standing. This art was orginally used at the end of Level 1 in the book:

Next, we have a more recent illustration of Grafika running to Paul's car:

In the Level 1 program, you command the Python Turtle to travel from Grafika's house to the IncrediCoders Academy.

Great Work!
