Update: I’m still not really happy with this one, but given that my next portrait is due tomorrow, I went ahead and wrapped this one up. So, here you go: Chris and Rich Robinson, (Original post below.)
So, once again “real life” is interfering with my #PortraitNight project/ritual, but since I’m an hour late at this point, I’ll just post what I’ve got. I started a drawing of Chris and Rich Robinson (of the Black Crowes) but haven’t had time to really finish it. The Black Crowes are a band that–in my opinion–gets unfairly disparaged as being “derivative.” Are they derivative? Well, maybe so.. but in 1990 when Shake Your Money Maker came out, I was more than enthused to hear something on the air like “Hard To Handle,” their Faces-esque cover of that Marvin Gaye tune. If my alternative are the non-“derivative” tunes of 1990, I’ll sure as heck take the Crowes:

Their records became more and more interesting as they progressed, culminating with their 1994 record Amorica, which is solidly one of my top ten albums of the 90s.
PortraitNight, however, I’m not that pleased with. I like my drawing of Chris, but not at all of Rich. I may revisit this for next #PortraitNight (is that “legal”?) but for now, here’s what I’ve got in my sketchbook:
…and here’s the photo I was looking at:
More soon!
