When I was a wee one, my father (formerly a listener-to of hippie music) discovered Willie Nelson, and much of my earliest musical memories are of the illustrious Mr Nelson here. My default mental image of him is as a younger man, which I tried to capture above (with mixed results) and passed up the opportunity to draw him as the living embodiment of cragginess.
A hint of Conan here.
ReplyDeleteThe barbarian, not O'Brien.
He really has stuck to his guns in terms of his look, huh?
ReplyDeleteI had a bit of a hard time capturing his look here-- I think even at this young age I needed to add some more world weariness to him.
ReplyDeleteHe was a handsom man, with big ears and braids. You captured the manliness required to get away with that look.
