Artist's Comments

I'm so happy 'cause today
I found my friends
They're in my head
I'm so ugly, that's okay
'Cause so are you
Broke our mirrors
Sunday morning is everyday
For all I care
And I'm not scared
Light my candles, in a daze
'Cause I've found God...

I drew this with graphite and pencils, from 2H through to 8B.

How do you get it so dark to look like a black and white photograph? Or is that just my screen? What brand of pencils do you use? Do you have to use so many? Just asking because I am loving pencil art and wanting to know more :-)

Really good work. Can you tell me what song that is that you posted some lyrics for? Right now that is really speaking to me and I'd like to hear the song.

the song is called lithium, you would probably recognise it if you heard it. i get it so dark by using my 8B graphite, that is the darkest one i can find so far, im still looking for an even darker pencil though. i use just cheap graphite, and i use faber castell pencils. i never have the best of materials ^^ :hug: im really glad you like it x

Excellent as always.

The facial hair is amazing as is the hair in focus on his head. What I also really like is how the hair in the background is slightly out of focus as it makes the rest of his face almost ';pop' from the page, like you can touch it.

Great work, great realism, great shading/rendering and just plain grrrreeeaaattt!! :)

Nirvana was one of few bands that actually had real lyrics, not just rhyming words and good beats. Stuff that got their crowd moving from the inside out.

Artworks of deceased celebrities always allow the spirit live on. Much like *Arafinwe's Heath Ledgar drawing...

Almost forgot to add the "Great Work" comment. :)
