Description Paul Simonon of the Clash

I was going to call this "Lightining Strikes (Not Once but Twice)" but the title wouldn't fit
This was drawn from another pic, but I changed several of the details. I have to say, the scanner did make it look worse in some areas, especially the face... but if you're wondering, none of it was blended.

A4
HB pencil

Yeah, and it was hard for me to get time to work on it, so it took longer to finish.

The way you color/shade always astionds me.
It honestly looks like light is just beaming from his guitar. The folds on his clothes are just fantastic.
Great works as always.

Thank you!
Yeah... just had to work with the shading a bit. The face in the pic was more blurry, and darker in some places... so I kind of made up some of the details that are there. And it is drawn smaller than it looks on the comp.

Thanks for the fave
