"Eliminate The Negative"
- Hayley Williams -

by takethef / Flavian Take

- Pencils: KOH-I-NOOR 1860 (5B)
- Eraser: Scriva B 30 Natural Rubber;
- Paper size: 17.7 x 14.6 cm (6.97 x 5.75 in);
- Work time: 2 hours.

See the comparison between the original drawing and the inverted-tones photo:


Source referenced: Billboard Women in Music Trailblazer Honoree Hayley Williams is photographed on Nov. 5, 2014 at Curo Management by David McClister.
 

It's my first tone-inverted pencil portrait and I'm quite satisfied with how it turned out.
I chose Hayley from Paramore (once again ) because she has that tattoo that says: "Accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative", which is the main line from Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate the Positive , the 1945 popular song by Johnny Mercer & The Pied Pipers.

They seemed to be a lot happier during their Self-Titled phase, but I loved all of their music

I have so many XD it's hard to choose one.  Um... I'd say either Pressure or Let the Flames Begin.  How 'bout yours?

takethef In reply to akatastrophicartist [2015-04-05 21:12:38 +0000 UTC]

Oh yeah, I really like the "Let The Flames Begin"/"Part II" pair. I also find "Now" great

Yep, "You've got to spread joy up to the maximum/ Bring gloom down to the minimum" which can go pretty well after you "Lost the battle/ Win the war"
