This week's "Hot Seat" portrait for Time Out New York is musician Matisyahu!
Living a somewhat sheltered, hermit-like existence, I had never heard of Matisyahu before, so I did some research on him--he's got quite a fanbase!
Obviously, the biggest challenge here was drawing out his beard without going insane. To get some of the really scraggly hair right, I drew a bunch of it with the pencil tool, which gave it the proper look.
All in all, I thought it came out fairly well!
This has been Boris Karloff Week here at the blog, so some of you are probably assuming I had to skip it for today. Au contraire! Boris is in that picture, I promise.
