Billy Idol Doodle, Drawing Cock-Eyes, & Phosphorescent

[ Trying to do the Billy Idol patented scowl. ]

It's that time of the month again - time for magazine box doodles. I'm always struck with fear when I have to start these doodles. Portraying someone famous is scary because everyone knows what they are supposed to look like. It's not like painting your Auntie Ethel where no one knows that she really doesn't have a cock-eye and crooked grin - everyone knows when you don't get a star just right. But I put my fears behind me and got to work on illustrating this month's TourBusLive.com feature subject - Billy Idol. Mind you, he may look more like a tranny than the Billy Idol we know and love, but none the less, here's your favorite bottle-blonde Brit as drawn by the chubby fingers typing this entry. It was while drawing Idol that I realized he bears a strange resemblance to a certain young actor. I have a gift for finding dopplegangers. Enjoy my friends.

INSPIRATION OF THE DAY: Phosphorescent's video for "It's Hard To be Humble (When You're From Alabama)"
