Artist's CommentsMatt Bellamy, composer/song writer/singer/guitar player/piano player/GENIUS of the band Muse. Words cannot describe how addicted I am to his music. And he's just a hilarious, brilliant person. As for the drawing, it took a longer time than anything else because I couldn't get the face proportions decent for . . . weeks. It was ridiculous. For me, it is SO difficult to get simple proportions right (and I never ultimately get there anyway) . . . when in theory, it shouldn't be. Anyone have an explanation for this? I may be wrong, but I think I sometimes think a little TOO mathematically about proportions and shapes instead of focusing on capturing the essence of a person. Or not. You tell me. The scan is decent but it makes it look "dirty." And took out some shirt detail. I think Matt strongly resembles Christian Bale from certain angles. Like in the reference, for example. Nice. Ironically, I listened to a lot of Radiohead while I did this, hehe. And I would really like to do portraits of Dominic Howard (drummer) and Chris Wolstenholme (bassist) of Muse as well. Such an amazing band. And I want to illustrate a few of their songs - Supermassive Black Hole in the near future. Oh yeah, and this reference is from a Google image search, but there is a user on here who has the most absolutely AMAZING photographs of Matt I've ever seen. I begged for permission to use them, but I was so excited about starting on a Matt portrait that I went ahead and did this one. By the time I received permission, I obsessively wanted to finish what I started. So. Anyway, I'm going to rant about their gallery anyway. Take a look. I definitely plan on putting that shameless begging to use with more Matthew portraits. Essay over. EDIT: I HAVE CONCERT TICKETS. To a U2 concert. But Muse is opening! Also, I am SO confused as to why this is getting so many downloads. |
