Today is my friend James's Birthday!
It just so happens that his drawing request is next in line. He had simply requested himself playing on a piano, but I decided to go full out and draw him at a sold out concert.
Now, normally there would be a band accompanying James on stage, but people are really hard to draw, let alone playing instruments. James Duffer is an up-and-coming musician in the Dallas-Fort Worth are. He specializes in a soft rock type music and takes a lot of pride in his work, which you can tell by listening to his album. In fact, you can check out some of Jame's music on his Facebook Page and you can also listen to his entire new album, Midtown Odyssey, on his Soundcloud Page.
I had a lot of fun drawing this picture for James. I'm pretty proud of how much like a person he looks, even though the stool he is sitting on is not much of a realistic stool. The piano was probably the next hardest thing to draw after James. They're awkward and have strange shapes. It's really frustrating sometimes when you know exactly what a piano looks like, after taken lessons for many years, but not being able to correctly draw one due to the limits of dexterity and patience. However, I'm really happy with it!
Be sure to go like James' Facebook page and check out his album, Midtown Odyssey, out now on Amazon, iTunes, and Bandcamp!
