portraiture

yes that's me.

in this 'portrait' i tried to capture what i felt at that point of time which was excitement. i was experiencing a 'rock' vibe at that point of time, after listening to some heavy music. i also wanted to show my love for music, especially the drums since i am a half-baked drummer. with that it is only natural to display my influence in music and that is the red hot chili peppers, in the form of their band logo on my chest. the two hands clench the drumsticks in pure rock fashion with the two pair of 'horns'. that hand gesture is the devil's horns as they say in rock music. or sometimes it simply means to 'rock on'. i tried to capture some resemblance to myself though i am not very good at photo-realism so i added that faint scar on my left eybrow to compensate for this. this is done in pen and ink because that is my current favourite medium to work with and i feel comfortable using it.
