Tom Waits caricature

Heres Tom Waits, not a very good likeness but I at least tried to jazz it up a bit. I was going to write about Tom and what an influence his music played in my life ever since Rain Dogs was released. But I won't. I will recommend him though and just say go and listen to some. If you have a musical bone in your body and an appreciation of the rich diverse history of Real music you'll enjoy it. One from the heart.

Started with an appalling sketch as usual, I'm so impatient to get started I really just do a fast sloppy rough sketch and then start to build the face with paint and work from there. You can also see how I changed the whole pallette as I went along too, there seemed too much blue in it before. It came out ok, could try harder!
