With Taste, I wanted to capture the anticipation and raw intimacy right before an explicit act. The contrast between the soft, delicate rendering of his facial expression and the prominent, powerful presence of the figure he is engaging with creates a really compelling dynamic. Using colored pencil allowed me to keep the skin tones warm and human, making a very bold, uninhibited moment feel deeply personal.
