hi all :wave:

back from holidays! i haven't drawn any thing in 3 weeks... this felt good! took about 2 hours. think i worked on it about 1/2 hour too long. conte is easily overworked.

conte and charcoal on 9 X 12 Strathmore black Artagain paper.

Great treatment, Mike. Exactly perfect.

This is great. The formin gof the body, the pose and the likeness are excellent. The black background is ideal for this sort of composition. I like how the guitar disappears into the dark. It's like that in a dark gig room too.

I must show all these works to my son when he's round again, I think he'll love them. :thumbsup:

Beautifully done Mike!

[eyepaint]

Love those hands! You captured all the fingers and their position just perfectly!

[missswiss]

Very nice. Don't stay away so long next time.

[jlloren]

I really admire your work. This one is no exception.

[mammevicki]

I agree this is so great!!! He will love this!!! ~MV~

[gakinme]

Absolutely love the skin tone on the arms expecially. You also gave him a much more mature look! Very nice!!

Economical and Dramatic, Mike. Could be the basis of a poster for this guy and his group!

[breadmerchant]

Love how this works against the black background and effectively comes out at the viewer!

[Mikenoss]

Very effective portrayal on the black paper. :thumbsup:

[claydesigner2156]

Great rendition. You got "the feel" of the subject right on.

Very good Mike - I am struggling with the perspective of the bass on mine! Your drawing skills show through so well on this.

[Wagtail]

What a lovely piece - everything about it works.

[Scotyel]

You've captured great atmosphere with this. Could see it as an album cover.

[Signchick]

This is great, Mike! There's no way I could handle that perspective! :)

[connievanwinssen]

A cool rocker! Great work:)

fabulous drawing !

[artbyjune]

Beautiful work. Love the serious expression on the guitar-man's face!

[wabbitt]

I admire your drawing skills. I love the scribbly lines in this, very creative way to create the atmosphere in a dark room.

[crispur2005]

Great job as usual.
