Spoon head

Surreal idea - portrait of a heroin addict incorporating motif of spoon and needle.

Play with crop to see if I can still convey heroin addiction less literally:

I want to do another version traditionally based on the initial sketch as the digital approach is a bit sterile

Coloured version and crop experiments:



Went with a scratchy brush to convey a worse mood as opposed to just doing flat shading. I think it's more a suitable way to go about illustrating heroin addiction, but I think I need more practice with it to make my brush strokes look more deliberate and less mindlessly chaotic.
