"Sammy Hagar" Sketch in Graphite


A sketch of one of my favorite musicians; Sammy Hagar. I've been a fan of his since his days with Montrose and have been lucky enough to have seen him in concert several times and he always puts out 100% for his audience.
This sketch was a bit of a different style for me. I used a vellum paper which has a bit of a different tooth than drawing paper. I found myself using my eraser over and over again as I would build up a layer and knock it back again and again until I had the contrast and texture I wanted. I was very pleased with the results as I feel it has a kind of rough textured look to it and some really wonderful contrast. And this was all done with just a regular graphite pencil.
