Red Hair Dye

September 18, 2006

Not entirely happy with how this turned out. I meant to make this guy look skinnier and well, less punk. I kind of like some things about the way he ended up on paper, but if I had time to paint him again, I'd have redrawn the pose before painting to loosen it up a bit more.

Slightly dark, which is an interesting new diretion for you. I like the simple and extremely effective color palate. And it riminds me of my days with bright pink hair!

Cool picture. I have to agree with Mike about the placement of the skull. Great!

Thanks everyone :) Kent, now that I think about it, I might have accidentally ripped off your drawergeeks spiderman colour-wise. Ha ha. I'm sorry.

I drew the skull that way because secretly I'd like a shirt like that. Hmmm... maybe I could make that happen :)
