Tuomas Holopainen | Nightwish | songwriter, lyricist, keyboardist


I once said in the description of one of my drawing: One of my own favourites among all my works... This, I like. That piece has 600 faves at the moment. Now dear people, I could say the same, except that this one is way better. But because the subject cannot ever match the worldwide popularity of the subject of the other drawing I refer to, I'm not expecting this one to be any success at all. Still, to me this is most likely the best portrait I've ever drawn and if I had to delete this one or that one faved by some 600 people, this would stay hands down. And the fact that this started as a random sketch I never meant to finish makes me smile. I enjoyed all the countless hours I spent on this. I liked working on it so much that at some point I stopped even wanting to finish it because that means I cannot spend time working on it anymore. I'm still not sure if it's finished... I guess I'll leave that undecided and give myself a chance to still change it if I wish to.

Pencil drawing. The full view is almost exactly the size of the original drawing.
And there was a reference (a promotional photo, so I expect this to be taken as just some extra promotion ).
I hope this does at least a tiny bit of justice to him.
