Kirk Hammett - Progress

Description

After a dozen of my most expensive pencils were kidnapped and eaten by our dog Sam (the little devil...) and tons of pencil tips were broken off, I'm finally able to present another update on my Metallica pencil collage.


I'm very proud to show their guitar player Kirk Hammett as a follow up of my 1st Work in Progress, which looked like:


The picture is not as bright, but you'll get the idea. :)

Turns out this is becoming my most viewed and commented deviation I've made in 6.5 years, while it's not even halfway done. :blushes: Totally awesome. I feel very blessed.


----------


The drawing is based on scenes of the music video Until it Sleeps; a song written by James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich in 1996.
It tells a personal story (related to James) about the different stadia of cancer - a sensitive subject to which I can relate. Will give some explanation once the drawing is finished.


For that reason, the whole collage shows 4 different elements with each band member: themes, colours, meanings, states of mind... you get the idea.

In other words:

  • James represents anger
  • Kirk represents sorrow

Jason and Lars and their representations will follow up soon.

So ever since I posted the 1st progress on January 12th, I've been working on Kirk approx 5 hours a day, meaning this small part took me about 70 hours to draw. It makes a total of 90 hours of work so far.

I'm breaking my own records haha.

I used 28 different pencils for this part which is smaller than A5 size. No erasers this time. (On a side note, I think Kirk is a stud. Yay for diggin' men at least twice my age haha.) <33


Next update will be coming after another session of +/- 50 hours. :noes:

Can't wait :eager:
