I've been trying to widen my horizons drawing-wise, so I'm starting a stint in caricatures, an style of cartoon whose I've always seen as great when done properly. And, to give a nod to the headbanger and in me, I'm going to do caricatures of my favourite rock musicians.
This here is my personal favourite guitarist: The Who's leader Pete Townshend. Not only did he compose some of the greatest songs in rock history, including that beautiful gem that is Tommy, but he plays the guitar like crazy- he hits the strings like if he were having a seizure, yet he has a fantastic minimalistic aproach that gives those beasts Moon and Entwistle more freedom to do their things, while he showed his passion with his power chords, like in My Generation or Substitute, and his internal world with his magnificent solos- like Won't Get Fooled Again, in which he managed to destroy me as a man for like 8 minutes in a row. Also, he has a versatility that any man would envy, and he gave every Who song something to make it special. He's a man that believes that rock can be fun, yet deep at the same, and I respect him and admire him for that. This drawing is based in Pete's look in the Isle of Wright festival in 1970, in which he gave one of the greatest perfomances in the world. It's my first caricature, so any criticism is apreciated.

Entonces, ¿Cuál es exactamente la diferencia entre arte y diseño?
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.
In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces.
