Leo

Leo was illustrated as part of a four-character set for Anissa’s story (Last Trip to Salida), and this one clicked with me instantly. He feels calm, observant and grounded and not loud or flashy, just present. I kept the styling casual and the posture relaxed on purpose so he feels like a real person, not a “designed character”. While working on Leo, I focused more on subtle expression and body language than heavy detail. He gives off that energy of someone who’s been through things but doesn’t announce it. This piece came together naturally, and yeah… I won’t lie, he became a personal favorite (name bias included 😅)
