Amazing job. I really like the fact that you have the cigerette as the main focal point of the whole picture and that you discreetly blended the background into the picture so the two colours don't contrast eachother too much. I alson like the way that you kept the facial shading very soft on the face so it's noticable but not as noticable as a weard looking tan, a very good job! I agree with a.deviantart.net/avatars/t/i/t… " alt=" " title="timmywheeler"/> about the fact that you kept the clothes very bland compared to the rest of the picture and I think that is where you need improvement. You are very talented, great job

This is a very well done piece.The cigarette smoke is excellent, although there could have been a little more detail in the clothing, such as the button and white shirt, as well as a darkening of the facial hair.Kurt had more of a redish(very lightly tinted) scruff, but all in all, very well done.I enjoy this.The texture of his skin in perfect, as well as the nose, which is shaped wonderfully.I took a glance at this as i scrolled down the deviant art page and knew right off the bat that it was Kurt.The burned end of the cigarette, also known as the 'cherry' is nice, but a little red for ember would have livened it up a bit.Keep on with the skill.

The art work is one of the best i have seen of the songwriting/guitar/vocal god.

As far as negative critique goes:
Try to focus on the clothing more. It looks very drab and basic, especially the shirt. The button on the jacket as well could use some help. Next time try capturing more toning in the hair (i know hair can be really tricky, so all together, good job.)

On the other hand:
The ciggerette seems to be the focal point of the picture, and you did do a speldid job at capturing it. From the smoke, to ten end of the ciggy, all the way to how it is postured in kurts mouth are just amazing. In fact, everything painted around that areais quite grand. The lips are pretty fantastic, and the hairs on the chin i would have to give a 10/10 too. the sunken in cheek is pretty detaitled as well. I like the background, it gives him a kind of "holy" look. As well, the light shining through the hair is quite amazing.

And on a personal note, thanks for making kurt look like kurt and not a beefed up version of kurt. You have captured his sorrow in a soulful sort of way.

Kurt Cobain! Heh! I start of by saying that this drawing is beautiful. I congratulate you on this well deserved DD! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)"/>
The theory of the drawing being based on a photo does not matter because you have really captured that moment. "That" moment which Kurt enjoys and tried to transmit to his fans. The entire composition is well versed, right from the dirty-blond hair to his the detailed nose.
I couldn't help click on the deviation as I scrolled down the homepage. As a fan of Nirvana, I personally love the artwork and I believe that this deserves all the FAVS it is going to get. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Big Grin)"/>
A few details which from my point of view could improve the drawing could be a better background. The simplicity is great but something more grunge and fancy could attract more visitors to the art.
Once again, I congratulate you =Rockkar !
Hope to see much great art from your gallery!
Thanks,
=McRockstar

As a Nirvana fan girl! I love this work, the way you shaded Kurt's face its soft and perfect.
I must ask, what did you use to draw Kurt?
