Description
been trying to practice more quick paint-sketching; i have a tendency to start hyper-focusing on details instead of paying attention to a painting as a whole, and i'm trying to break that habit. i had to stop myself from slipping back into doing that several times while working on this.the point of this was to convey as much visual information as possible with the least amount of actual detail and time spent - no easy task, and i greatly envy those who have that ability.
also, i'm not as skilled at painting men, so i chose a subject that would challenge me in that aspect as well (and what an attractive subject he is!)
the ref for this is a photo i've had on my pc for years - fuck if i know where i got it from. i don't feel like uploading it right now, but if you really care, i'm sure google images can help you.
an earlier work of mine featuring mr. reznor can be seen here: [link] . i venture to say that this is an improvement.
edit: newer ones here: [link] and [link]

The hair across his forehead in the top right is a bit too clean-cut compared to the soft brushiness of the rest. But it's really nice. NIN hasn't really wowed me lately, but I like them/it/him too.
cheers

i noticed that part of the hair right after i uploaded this - and i completely agree!
not a fan of year zero? i've really enjoyed it - it's quickly become one of my favorite albums. with teeth had it's charm, but i think year zero is a much more engaging album. the ARG has been a lot of fun, too
thanks for taking a look!

I agree that it is an improvement and you did a very nice job with the shading on his face. When I saw it on the front page I knew exactly who it was. Very nice job.

I really really like the painting style in this kind of harsh, but with a soft, gorgeous sort of realism.
GOOD!
