WE'RE OUT HERE SCREAMING

This is a portrait I did back in 2008 of Canadian music artist Emily Haines from Metric. It was my first large scale portrait and this is what made me want to continue drawing at this size. Her solo album Knives Don't Have Your Back was the root of inspiration for this piece. I think I might have listened to the album at least 20 times while drawing this.
