Here's a portrait of Shannon Hoon, leadsinger of Blind Melon I did! One really talented young man who left us way too soon... I used some tools I usually don't use: -charcoal (the face) -pierre noir (the hair) And besides that, I used: -2B pencil -Tissue -Qtip -Blending stick -Reference pic (http://img183.imageshack.us/img183/6907/shannonuu6.jpg) I didn't intend to make this looks all smoosh and realistic and stuff.. I just wanted to put a certain feel to this... I hope I captured him well!
You did better than well... the face has an almost photographic quality about it- especially the eyes! Excellent job!
