Illustration Friday- Portrait

This portrait of late INXS singer Michael Hutchence was drawn over half a lifetime ago, back in 1988 when I was 15. It was done as my Year 10 high school major work, using chalk pastels. The original hung in my high school's reception area until I left in 1990.

Originally you were supposed to see his hand wearing the bracelet, but after it didn't turn out so well, I followed the popular artist's mantra of 'When in doubt, black it out'.
