Description

Billy Corgan, singer of the "Smashing Pumpkins"

Inspired by the very Smashing Pumpkins song [link] (a screenshot of which was used as reference). It was a try on minimalist high contrast and contrast between blurred/crisp parts, and I'm quite satisfied with the result.

I started this picture last November, when I was slightly depressed (like every November) and was listening to Smashing Pumpkins all day (and night) long. I didn't finish it then and when spring came I was happy again and didn't feel like drawing melancholic pictures at all. Well, I'm still happy (the sun is shining, you know :)), and now that I finally finished the picture it turned out.. tranquil..? hopeful..? Well, anything but depressing, I guess... :giggle: And the title doesn't fit any longer...

Many different pencils, which I forgot over the last 9 months. In the end I only used 6B, 9B and some white pastel. The original is in two parts, which I joined on computer. I started out on rather small sketchbook paper and the butterfly didn't fit, unfortunately.

lalala... *goes dancing in the sunshine*
