This is a repaired version of a portrait I drew two days ago (repairs have been made to the lips, the hair and the microphone). This portrait shows the face of James Hetfield, frontman of heavy metal band Metallica, which also happens to be my favorite band. Just like my portrait of Mikael Åkerfeldt, this portrait is more of a personal interpretation of the character than an attempt at realistic drawing, so yeah, the lighting is a bit dramatic, the hair is very stylized and the microphone might look weird at first glance. I wanted to draw James Hetfield because of the inspiration he is to me. James and myself share some of the same personal issues, and as a result of that I can relate to a large portion of his lyrics. The fact that I like his musical compositions and stage presence just adds more to the appreciation I feel for him.
I realize the picture looks a bit blurry on the right, but there's nothing I could do about it, it came out this way every time I tried to scan it. ~5 hours of work.
So yeah, this is dedicated to James, the band and the fans out there, I hope you'll enjoy my drawing
