Description

This is my more personal piece to be published to date. I am the guy painted here both in positive and negative ways. I got this idea reflecting on myself a few weeks ago. We all have to be like that from time to time I suppose : positive and negative, right and wrong, good and evil, happy and sad, ... Yin and Yang I guess. Differences you can see between the two "me" are obviously intended.

It was made using two photos I took as references. I vertically mirrored one and obtained the negative with PS7. The bass guitar (fretless) is the one I'm playing with most of the time. I cheated a bit with it since I draw the strings with a ruler and a drawing pencil. I thought it gives a good impression of strings slight reflections.

Material used was :
Watercolours: Rembrandt (Royal Talens), Rownet-Manet
Black Indian Ink: Pelikan #17
White Gouache (for a few touches on the guitar): Talens
Brushes: Raphaël #6 1/4, #8

This piece was a gift for my best (female) friend, named Marion.

I love the concept! Great idea.You're funny :p
From point of composition I think you could add them some space to the sides - it feels kinda tight
Except for that it is awesome drawing - very expressive.Love the guitar :)

Excellent piece of work

Great use of white space and nicely controlled colouring

The rope is kinda disturbing;)

How long have you been playing guitar?

@Jacobine: You are definitely right, I shoulda reduced the scale to have more space on the sides.
@curlyhair: Nadia, sometimes I am funny, sometimes I'm not (at all) : , like we all do I guess. This is what I tried to say in this work.
@Wallace: yeah Vincent, the rope is there to be disturbing ;). I play the bass guitar since I was 14, on and off though.
@cupcake: so different from me? Sorry, but you have no idea: as I said in the description, "This is my more personal piece to be published to date". The others things I published so far came from my "bright side", I would say. I realise that this one's definitely from my dark side :
I must listen too much to Joy Division, The Cure, The Smiths, Radiohead, etc... ;)

Yeah - you're right - I guess I was looking to the positive side - it drives more attention You can't blame me for this. :)
