I've drawn Bowie before. Shown here Though there are bits about it I really love, the skin and the eyelids in particular. It has details that I cannot stand, the white lines more specifically. They stand out and distract from the image, also the lightening didn't work as well as I had first imagined.
That's kind of what I mean by being haunted by it, it was a missed opportunity, though it was only a sketchbook drawing. I knew it could be more successful.
So here is a watercolour sketch that I did this morning. It took about 40 minutes to do. With lyrics from Dance Magic. I know it's not Bowie's best song, I love Labyrinth though.
