Re: WDE Sep 4 Rock n Roller
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.

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

Re: WDE Sep 4 Rock n Roller
Love how this works against the black background and effectively comes out at the viewer!

Re: WDE Sep 4 Rock n Roller
Very good Mike - I am struggling with the perspective of the bass on mine! Your drawing skills show through so well on this.
