Artist's Comments

Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails. Downward Spiral Era. Drawn from a few stitched together screencaps from the music video for "Closer".

Micron pens, colored pencils, many deceased sharpies.

Wax resist effect used for mottled color in sweater. V. proud of this. :D

Original is about 10x14 and took me for-freaking-ever.

I first attempted to draw this using a grid method but even though my drawing was technically exactly the same as the original picture it for some reason looked NOTHING LIKE HIM. So I freehanded it. It has a lot more life to it now.

Fuck you art school, for making me think the grid method was a good idea.

Seriously kids. Art school makes you hate art. Say no to art school.

(well, don't take my word for it if you don't want to, but it seriously crushed my love of drawing for a little while there. But that's because ART SCHOOLS HATE COMIC ARTISTS for some sick reason. Jerks.)

I'm also selling this on craigslist. :D [link]
