To create this mood, he uses a handheld light to cast deep, architectural shadows, later refining the tones digitally. Dressed in a white shirt and satin bowtie, he captures a focused, sincere expression through careful layers of graphite, charcoal, and ink.

Inspired by the stillness in Michael Zavros’ Bad Dad, Edward gives this moment a more uplifting tone—her posture and expression suggesting renewal rather than solitude. Kathryn is drawn with precise realism, while the surrounding water is handled more loosely, with broken, expressive marks that echo the shifting energy of the tide.
