David Bowie Changes

Recently I made a drawing showing the changes of British singer David Bowie. He has been making music since 1969 and has sold an estimated 136 million albums worldwide. His stage persona and appearance has went through many changes over the years.

This is a quick portrait style sketch I made for practice...
I also studied the works of illustrator Ralph Steadman. These are a few study sketches I made of his work...


My finished work shows three different stages of David Bowie's career... His Ziggy Stardust era, his role from the movie Labyrynth and his style from Let's Dance. I worked in pen and ink only and the drawing seems to have taken on the feeling of one of my favorite artists Al Hirschfeld...
