Been listening to a lot of old albums for the first time lately. Most recently it was the famous Alice In Chains EP; Jar of Flies. Its probably my new favorite recording from the grunge era.

So while I was doing a bit of sketching this weekend, I ended up doing a tribute piece of the band's late singer. Such a unique voice that was gone way too soon.

After a bunch of digital work lately, its back to traditonal! Wasn't really intending on going for more realistic look when I started on this. Really wanted it to be more caricature like.

Accidentally tried to put a marker base down in beginning but didn't realize I had drawn on the wrong side. The colors came out much paler than they usually do on the paper I use. The marker paper I use has one side that absorbs all the ink. Plus I made the not so smart choice of laying down some of the initial line work with ball point pen, as it began to bleed into the markers.

So I used colored pencils to add some of that vibrancy! And broke put my regular ink pens to better emphasize the linework.

Honestly think I could have done a better job, but well. I feel it could have been a bit more expressive.. Still has a bit of that grungy asthetic that I was going for
