Drawing the spirit of Rock Music

Hi guys,

I've been moping about in self dissapointment due to my meager pageview count. I've been a member way to long to justify my low pageviews and I was just thinking about what to do to remedy the situation. At the same time, I've been thinking of new directions for inspiration with my art. Lately I've made the aquaintances of several very good graphite artists and alot of their portrait work has inspired me. Call me crazy but in the past it's always just been beautiful women that inspire me to draw but recently my mind has opened up to other prospects and I find myself wanting to draw those heroes of music that help me through life everyday. Without my music I think I'd be pretty lost. Bands like Seether, Breaking Benjamin, Three Days Graze, Chevelle, Finger Eleven and the like get me pumped up and always seem to have the right sound for the situation. I think in the near future you guys can expect to see me drawing the guys behind the music. I think this is a pretty convenient inspiration because I'm bound to turn up more often on search engines with this type of art.
But then again... I'd probably get more views if I lose the lazyness and just draw more period. :P
In parting: Thanks for the support you guys! Keep sharing your art with me and I'll continue to do the same!

Hey thanks for your comments. I know what ya mean. Pencils are my thing... traditional roots. I mess with my very nice Cintiq tablet time to time but you really don't see as much traditional support these days. I'm happy you like my work. I appreciate the visit!

Great Gallery, really makes me want to get back into doing some more pencil work :idea: With all the technology today, people tend to forget about good old traditional media (not that theres anything wrong with computers and stuff (I'm a Photoshop/Painter whore myself;))
