Excited to share my latest personal painting entitled, 'The Calling'. Stepping outside my artistic comfort zone on this illustration led to a journey of unexpected twists and turns. Not everything went as planned as this piece demanded countless thumbnail revisions, colour sketches, as well as battling art block like never before. There were moments when I questioned the path and almost threw in the towel. But it was the wise words of my very supportive wife, trusting the process and sheer stubbornness that pushed this painting over the finish line. Grateful for the lessons learned and seeing it all finally come together in the end.
