I'm a huge fan of Roger Taylor. He's the drummer from Queen and he also released some really fab solo work which I love just as much as Queen. Anyhoo, today Roger is 66! So in honour of that, I spent my spare time last week drawing this portrait of him.
It's the first real portrait I've done since I broke my arm, I've been kind of scared of trying in case I couldn't because of pain, etc. So I'm especially pleased with it! It's all graphite with a little bit of Posca pen for his pretty blue eyes. I then ran it through Photoshop because I can. I took some progress shots because I love seeing them from other artists. You might have to squint a bit for some of them though, graphite is a beast to try and capture under the lens due to it's reflective nature.
Happy birthday Roger!
One of my favourite versions of his songs ♥ Please don't watch the Man on Fire music video though. As much as I love Roger, his videos are kind of embarrassing.
That portrait is so amazing! I wish I had that kind of skill

Absolutely incredible art - you are so tremendously talented. I wish that I had 1/100th of your skill as an artist (alas, as I like to joke, even my stick people don't look like stick people - that's a wee exaggeration, but only barely). It's always such a joy and privilege to see anything that you create, dear Freya, thank you so much for sharing your passions with us.

I'm sorry I'm commenting so late, but this is seriously so impressive. It seems like your drawings just get better and better and it's so cool to watch.
