One of my first portraits...




Iggy Pop
Pencil on paper
11" x 14"
2009

So this drawing is simple enough, it's just an Iggy portrait. My art teacher asked me to begin drawing a portrait of anyone who I thought was interesting, so he came up! And at the time, I was listening to a lot of The Stooges, it worked.

I used various graphite pencils on sketching paper, and used a photo from a biography as the reference. It was a small photo too! So that's as far as the process went for this one. It took a few weeks to finish, because drawing this was also the first time I'd start filling in hair and fabric.
