Description
First real finished drawing in over a year. ;___; I've been feeling pretty rusty working on it, but it's nice to see the hands still seem to know what to do. Nick Cave's music has called to me and inspired me a lot lately, so his portrait felt like as good a place as any to try and get back into the swing of things. (I started it - in a brief fit of stupid optimism - to kick off Inktober 2021, but we shall not talk about that ...) Very hard to find the time for art these days, but I miss it a lot.

That being said. I cannot put into words what a profoundly morose experience drawing his face was. I've been stared at long enough by these eyes, your turn now.
