This was a portrait I drew using carbon pencils.
For some reason it took only 11 hours, as opposed to the average 19 hours that my other portraits have taken.
This may have been because this is a side-on portrait, meaning that there isn't the forward facing eyes, which takes so much time to get so accurate.
I drew this for a good friend who is an avid U2 fan. He has a dedicated room for music, and this picture is on the wall joining albums, guitars, amps and an electric keyboard.
I love the contrast that carbon creates. I like how the skin tones are slightly darker through the glass.
