~*~Marco~*~
my pencil (on bristol board) rendition of Marco Hietala, bass guitar/vocals of Nightwish
he is awesome at the guitar, but his voice is so freaking awesome…
now I have a huge respect for all you portrait artists, this was my third attempt at drawing him and lets just say it was super difficult for me to even get this close haha : )
Let me know what you think!
“Did you ever hear what I told you?
Did you ever read what I wrote you?
Did you ever listen to what we played?
Did you ever let in what the world said?
Did we get this far just to feel your hate?
Did we play to become only pawns in the game?
How blind can you be, don’t you see?”
You chose the long road, but we’ll be waiting”
Bye bye, beautiful…”
Bye Bye Beautiful by Nightwish

Hi Midnight another great peace he comes over so moody and forboading, but if he’s anything like the musians i use to work, with he’s probable not like that at all. great image
midnightdreamer replied
from what a know of him he is actual;ly pretty cool and layed back, I just wanted to try to capture how deep he can be…I will probably have another go at a portrait of him in the future…You used to work with musicians, thats awesome : ) I love musical people, like my little big brother, he is younger than me yet taller than me lol, but he can play some awesome guitar….anyway I am rambling lol, thank you!!!

I love Nightwish :) very nice portrait
midnightdreamer replied
My brother lovingly calls me ‘Nightwish Head’ since I am always listening to Nightwish when he visits….I really love the old Nightwish with Tarjia but I am really coming around to Annette, she is a good singer, just not as good as Tarjia hehe :) Thanks for stopping by :) I love Marco, he is my fav male singer, he is really good in some of his other bands like Tarot too.I am hoping next time I try drawing his portrait it will be a lil’ bit better hehe :) Thanks again!
Peace,

A great drawing. . . I have never been able to draw but at least having a computer alows me to do some artistic design. . .
