About the subject | the choice of the reference picture
Piotr "Roguc" Rogucki is the vocalist of a Polish rock band Coma. For these, who aren't acknowledged with its music, lemme recommend you some songs [in English]: [link] ; [link] ; [link] . Coma is one of two Polish bands that I actually listen to. Didn't have too much to say in choice of the reference My friend, who's also a fan of Coma, asked if I could draw this exact photo of Roguc, and in spite of difficulties [look at the hair and the details ] I was sure I would have, I agreed. He promised to portray someone for me, too, so I'll find a proper picture for him
About the drawing
It's the first such a detailed portrait I've done in 2012 and must say I'm quite satisfied with everything but his hair. A mohawk isn't an easy thing to draw, especially such messy one. However, I'm happy with the smoothness and blurriness of his T-shirt, this is what I wanted to obtain. Roguc's facial expression was tricky to capture, but I think I succeeded in it as well
Well, I really like his hair even though you don't. It looks messy but still real: not too solid and not too messy. Great job on his shirt also, you shaded it very smooth so it looks very realistic!
