ART EXPLOSION WEEK 46: Theme MASKS - Corey Taylot - SLIPKNOT
Hello Everyone!!
Several days ago i do not post anything, it is that i decided to take a few days off to relax a little and think about other things, but i was already beginning to miss the drawing.
I see that i´am still on time to present my entry to the contest hosted by @juliakponsford
this week's theme is MASKS
This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.
My drawing for this contest is Corey Taylor, lead singer of the band Slipknot and Stone Sour.
I drew Corey under the outfit he wears in the Slipknot band. Many lovers of Metal know that this band is characterized by the masks used by its members.
This singer was an excellent choice for me, since the masks have many meanings, some use it to hide their identity, many super heroes hide their faces to protect their loved ones, but, the members of this band use them to demonstrate what that there really is inside.
As Corey explains in the following quote:
We are not hiding behind these masks, we are revealing more than you can imagine. The mask i use to put all the bad things inside me. Even if we do not wear the masks, the music would still be of good quality
Now let's see the ateep by steep of my illustration:
The technique i used is what i doing best, realism with charcoal. for this I used the following tools:
Mechanical Pencil.
HB Leads.
Charcoal Pencil Medium.
Brush.
Moldable Eraser.
A4 Opaline 300G.
- I started doing the main sketch, then with the charcoal pencil i highlighted the darkest areas of the mask.
- In this step i illustrated the mask, using only the charcoal pencil and shading with the brush.
- In these steps i was illustrating with the charcoal pencil following the sketch.
- For the details i used the moldable eraser to give light and volume to the illustration, i also used the brush to soften the charcoal.
- The brush helped me cover the dark areas and make the shadows, i made adjustments and detailed the jacket with the moldable eraser.
- And this is the Final Art:
I missed a lot drawing with charcoal, for a while my hands were shaking and i made some bad strokes, but that's what happens when you lose the practice, so, i hope to continue drawing more often.
This illustration was very funny, I like to work with darkness and make details inside of it. I hope you like it and you have enjoyed this illustration!
Thanks for being here!
Until the next time!!

You and your work are a pleasure to support @kennyvaldez :)
Hi @kennyvaldez, as you know @honeysim featured you in this week's @pifc's Pay It Forward contests.
Very well done. I knew it was Corey Taylor before I even saw your description. You did a great job of even catchin mannerisms when he performs. It's funny, his mannerisms change with each group or solo. I guess he's a chameleon of sorts. Keep up the great work.
Hello! Yes, I was watching this, I feel happy and honored to be featured in this contest.
Yes, Corey is a chameleon, he was the perfect subject to represent this contest of masks. Its facets in each band, the masks in slipknot, I just feel that it was the perfect illustration to represent this, thank you for your support!
It really was perfect! You're very welcome. I'll have to come by and visit more often. You definitely have skills 😎
welcome back, Kennyyy :D
Ohhhh!!! Lena!!!! Thank you

WOW! Amazing artistic quality @kennyvaldez, I am deeply impressed with your shading technique and the overall artistic power. A tiny little bit scary maybe ... :)
Yeah! A little bit scary, but is not a mask so scary? Hahaha that hidden demons and monsters inside. Thanks a lot! ;)
