I originally planned to make two pieces for this theme, but my patience wore thinner and thinner as I worked. The second sketch just didn’t turn out well, so I scrapped it entirely. I was eager to move on to drawing alt-style portrait sketches for practice anyway.
This artwork was inspired by a movie poster, which gave me the vibe of embracing something intangible and out of reach. Nulla’s expression wasn’t this calm and composed at first. I kept wondering how he’d actually act in such a scenario. After thinking it over repeatedly, I decided he’d choose to face me with his most gentle, put-together self. Still trying to fully understand this character.
