This is part two of the previous post concerning shading and the use of value, while using a pencil. No he is not Jesus, although strikingly similar in appearance, this is David Gilmour, lead singer and guitarist for the band Pink Floyd. I was inspired to draw him specifically because of my interest in him as an artist, and the music he produces. This was more difficult than the profile view of James Hetfield because it was a close up, detailed photo to begin with, not to mention the amount of hair I had to work through. I ended up giving the basic shade with a pencil and using the eraser to lighten the lines in his beard, as well as the rest of his hair. Although I had very little experience drawing people (let alone their faces) coming into this, I was even more satisfied with my end result on this second time around, making this my favorite art work I have done in a while.
