Some bands just make me want to draw. I’ve seen Opus X perform for the 4 Sundays. I made a flyer for them when they first started, and I figured it was time for something new. I initially drafted a picture of the band members dancing on top of a hand holding a chord (the sketch is below), but I realized that there was too much going on there. I took pictures of the band members, though, so I’ll draw their portraits for a different project.
I’ll take you through the process…
