Starting with a simple scribble of a screaming creature, I decided to explore the character a bit more and flesh it out. It was also interesting to see what an ogre would look like with that orange, leathery skin - if it would work or not. For the pose and composition, the idea was to simulate what his portrait photo would look like - like what you'd see on his passport photo, or in his classroom yearbook. Ultimately, it was a really fun personal painting that I could let loose on and finish up in a few lunch breaks.

Enjoy!
