Wise Guys

I just finished this one a few minutes ago It's a portrait of the "Wise Guys" a german a cappella/vocal pop group which is quite successful in Germany. They are five of the few musicians I've actually seen live on stage (well worth it, by the way).

So, some technical details:
- DIN A3 Hahnemühle Nostalgie paper (190g/m²)
- graphite pencil (mostly B or 2B)
- reference and a 2cm grid
- a few hours (I don't know excactly but I've been working on it during the last 48 hours - not constantly though )

Sorry for the quality, my scanner doesn't like A3 much and my phone isn't really up to the task. I'll try to get a good scan later.

It's a bit different from my usual kind of work, but I like it. I did my usually linework and started marking some shaded areas with crosshatching and I kinda liked the way it looked, so I kept it that way. Didn't take as long, either
What do you think? Do you like this or do you prefer my usual photorealistic stuff? Or do you like both? Or neither?


In case you're wondering what they sound like:

For those who know the Wise Guys and know that Ferenc is going to leave the group at the end of this year - I didn't plan this or anything but I was listening to their music while drawing and when I added the finishing touches the song that came up was "Wir hatten eine gute Zeit". I guess it's a sign to give this to Ferenc if I get the chance
