The Traveling Shepherd

I went in without a predetermined visual idea when I started working on this piece for the Character Design Challenge. I just blocked in a silhouette and let the details emerge organically as the painting evolved. I loved the spontaneity and exploration in this one, imperfections and all. I also love the shadowed right side of the female. It was a concept art style back in 2018 or so. I haven't really seen any character work use that "incomplete" technique lately.
