A warm acquaintance of mine, Tom, who works at a hair salon, lives in my neighborhood, and has been working some really great hair lately. I ran into him several times over the past week and each time he was looking great (and we had similar hairstyles, although my texture changes my look quite a bit), and I was so taken with his anime hair tonight I wanted to do a sketch of it. As a drawing it doesn't look that radical, but in real life, walking the streets of Chelsea? Definitely notable. Tom doesn't actually look like my sketch, although he's a good looking guy.
What interests me most here is that in your drawing he looks exactly like the janitor character in the gay movie Broken Sky.

Really? Interesting. I've never seen that movie. I thought he was looking vaguely Milo Ventimiglia-ish.
ReplyDeleteHe does look a little Milo-ish but he has strong features. That is a cool hairstyle, I wish I could pull it off! The coloring is superb here, George!
ReplyDeleteThanks 'Fin! My hairstyle is the same, except because I have a wave in mine (plus Tom's hair has more straight volume), he has that anime look that I need to gel, set, brush and generally torture my hair into submission to achieve! :p
