Charcoal portrait of Layne Staley

I hope you like this!
It's Layne Staley, leadsinger of Alice in Chains/Mad Season.

Done on A4 paper, in about 4 hours!

 

It's excellent, I really like the contrast. You're very talented.

 

this is absolutely amazing; it is so life like.

 

I love it and I love Layne Staley!! It's beautiful....I love how you captured his face, his expression that we know and love so well...yeah girl! You did this justice...

 

Yay, thanks everyone!

 

Saweeet!

 

I am a huge fan of Layne and have been trying to find a portrait to hang in my house that captures as only he should be and this definitely does it. Is there anyway I can purchase one??? This would really be a huge favor.


Thanks in advance!!!

 

Wow that's incredible I'm not too keen on the ear and hair, but it's still amazingly good. How'd you get the stubble effect so nicely?

 

wow, that's great. i suck at portraits. it's amazing how it looks just like him. did you work from a photo?

RIP LAYNE

 

yeah that was Layne from mtv unplugged i belive

thats amazing though,i can never understand how people can draw people to look so identical to the actual person.
