The prompt is

The Cure, “A Short Term Effect” from Pornography, 1982

Lyric:
A day without substance, a change of thought
An atmosphere that rots with time
Colours that flicker in water, a short term effect

had evolved steadily since their debut,Three Imaginary Boys, by the time they produced this atmospheric proto- release.

I can't help but hear these lyrics as almost comically stereotypically goth-dreary now - the perspective of maturity, or world-weary cynicism? -
but they do reflect lead and driving force 's self awareness about the substances he and his bandmates were reputed to be indulging in at the time, and when I let go and sink into the music, yeah, it still works.

Some progress shots of a portrait I’m currently working on.

After a year of health issues and chronic pain I’m attempting to get back into a routine and also filming my process for my other socials.

My line work does not always reflect the final piece.

I’m really enjoying drawing Robert Smith, especially as I’ve never drawn him before. He’s been a nice reintroduction to working and creating content for socials while not feeling pressured.
