Eddie Van Halen - "Guitar Wizard" Original graphite pencil drawing


Eddie Van Halen
  Eddie Van Halen - the greatest guitarist of an era when hard rock ruled the world (or at least my little part of it).  
  I started working on watercolor paper recently and I am so much happier with it; it is not as glossy a surface and holds the graphite better.  For this drawing, I used several different shades of grey Prismacolor pencils which I fairly roughly applied.  For the background, I used an electric eraser to remove graphite in spots.  It really helped add some good depth (and interest) to the drawing.
