This is a commission and yet another of the legend that is Kurt Cobain. There was a few challenges with this, hence the load of flaws xD It was the first time I drew a guitar and the strings aren't as accurate as I would have liked. The hands aren't right, and the hair could have been whiter (blonder).

But I am really pleased with the tonal range and overall shading/ detail, which I think is fairly effective - although, saying that, the intensity of the charcoal doesn't allow for the range of mid tones to have quite an impact. The background is also a bit 'iffy' but I like how I have done the floor, for some reason (y)

Anyhow, I hope that the guy I drew it for likes it, and that you guys like it too!

The WIP, and first Kurt Cobain drawing, are here:
