Robert Smith of the Cure 1981

Postby ~Pogo~ » Sun Oct 06, 2013 12:17 pm

Portrait of Robert Smith, he's insanely fun to draw. Like the one I did of Simon, this was heavily referenced from a photograph. However, I deviated from my reference; It's not meant to be a photo-copy.

Extra information:
The stars are an allusion to their greatest hits album, by the way. Although, that album came out decades after 1981(2002), so adding the stars sorta disrupts any sort of continuity this drawing had. I was going to try to somehow incorporate their Faith album(absolutely wonderful album; one of my favorites) that was from 1981, but I couldn't think of anyway to tie it in. For some reason, I was going through my parents' CDs, and I saw the Cure's greatest hits album. I just thought the stars on the cover would look neat with the color scheme I used.

Time: I think this took about four hours?

;A; thank you! I really had fun messing with the texture this time. Your art is some of the best on here, so it means a lot whenever you compliment my work.

Eee, thank you, Punckstache! I tried to do something a little different with the texture, and the lighting was pretty tough to get this time around.

(I know; he's awesome <3!!)
