Amaranthe – Amaranthine

This one is a rather old portrait that I drew back in 2017. I never drew a background for this picture but always promised myself that I’d come back to doing so one day. That day happend to come two years later, when I finally felt like I had an idea on how to approach things. The Anders Fridén portrait had given me the final inspiration that I needed. So I took a proper picture of the old drawing and once again used my tablet to give it the final touch. I tried a lot of different colours for the logo, switching them back and forth, until I was finally happy with the result.
