"Manage me, I'm a mess Turn a page, I'm a book Half unread
I wanna be laughed at Laughed with, just because
I wanna feel weightless And that should be enough
Now I'm stuck in this fucking rut Waiting on a second hand pick me up And I'm over, getting older
If I could just find the time Then I would never let another day go by I'm over, getting old
Maybe it's not my weekend But it's gonna be my year And I'm so sick of watching while the minutes pass as I go nowhere And this is my reaction To everything I fear Cause I've been going crazy I don't want to waste another minute here"
from Weightless, album=Nothing Personal
Alex Gaskarth singer and guitarist, All Time Low charcoal drawing 4 hours this photo reference is from the underwear shoot, wish I could draw them on his head here's the pic: [link] best viewed full size
This one is really a no brainer. At first glace I'm greeted with penetrating eyes. After I get over the eyes, I look at the drawing as a whole. The hair is immaculately placed and the highlights and shadows in the face give it a soft and tranquil focus.
Vision: This category doesn't really apply to your work; it's a portrait. This it does a fine job at.
Originality: Portraits have been done before, and what I'm guessing is charcoal on a midtone paper isn't exactly a new technique... but this isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Technique: This is the category in which your piece shines. Both the composition, pose, shading, and contrast are phenomenal. It looks like it could use a little more detail, but I believe it would lose some of its charm if it were.
Impact: Like I said before, the eyes grab my attention instantly. The pose (while probably referenced from a publicity photo) looks as if someone had just tapped him on the shoulder. The soft focus from the smudging also adds to its memorability.
All in all. A great piece. Definitely something you should be proud of.
