Description YAH I finished

I have hand ache now, but it was worth it, the shading could have been a little smoother and I may go back at some point and put that right.

Well I love the result

A4 Canson paper
2H, 2B and 6B pencils
tissue and tortillion
rubber


Hours taken, not got a clue quite alot

What do you look at to get inspiration or ideas? I personally don the music mags: mojo and rollingstone.
Great pic by the way!

Music inspiration normally Muse, but most of it comes form the picture itself, I like to use ref pics that appeal to me

definately cracked it with this one Mags! I'd even hazard a guess that he's wearing those yellow sunglasses of his. I know that at one point you were worried about his teeth, but I hope you're satisfied with them now, they look very natural. You should be very proud of this one.

Actually I do really like this one, I think it is the expression I was worried that i wouldnt capture it but I did, and the teeth seem less important now
