Seated Man - Concept Art Sketch

Again, the aim is to portray an intimate moment as a concept—to express a sense of being overwhelmed and the desire to withdraw.
With lines intentionally dynamic, even bordering on frantic in areas like the hair and the shadows. Again, the goal wasn't refined realism, but rather an exploration of a visual idea.
The pose reflects a common, almost instinctive gesture of someone retreating inward. By leaving the face partially undefined, the emotion takes on a more universal quality, less about an individual’s specific features, and more about the shared experience of that emotion.
