2019, Portraits

Anders Fridén of In Flames

“So burn, burn, burn, the world needs to see with open eyes, let the flames be seen far and wide”

In Flames – Burn

What began as a classical pencil portrait started to become a mixed media piece in the end. I drew Anders Fridén with my pencils and the progress went without major struggles. When I had finished drawing Anders I felt like the picture could use a colourful splash in the background. As I wasn’t so sure about this approach though, I decided to leave the original untouched. So I scanned it and added the In Flames logo digitally – and ended up very happy with the final result.
