Sketching bands or artists on stage since december 2019. Capturing moments that will never repeat, holding memories of those nights, surprising band elements at the end. A very special project of mine.
My sketches with music are in instagram @metalsketchvs
MetalSketchvs#19 - MOONSPELL (PT) 🐺
Managed to return from a small vacation near by to pass by Entroncamento and sketch the big portuguese metal band. Got too far to see them so managed to capture the stage and the scene. Later managed to get the sketch signed by the band. First sketch of them.🤘

MetalSketchvs#18 - James Dorton, NE OBLIVISCARIS (AUS)
Was not easy to sketch James, since he kept in and out of the stage, only coming for his growl parts, so had to sketch fast in between parts, reasy why I used too many lines. Didn´t resulted too well. Managed to improve it a bit later the gig.

MetalSketchvs#17 - NE OBLIVISCARIS (AUS)
Wanted to sketch Kevin Paradis on the drums but ended sketching just the drums, since I had some difficulty to see him behind the kit. Wasn´t happy with this result, but is part of what can happen sketching in a live concert.

MetalSketchvs#16 - Martino Garattoni NE OBLIVISCARIS (AUS)
Italian bassist of this amazing band, live sketched while playing.

MetalSketchvs#15 - Benji Baret NE OBLIVISCARIS
On the left of the stage was Benji left-handed guitar player that did most of the technical guitar solo parts.

MetalSketchvs#14 - Tim Charles NE OBLIVISCARIS (AUS)
Got to close to the stage that didnt managed to sketch all the band in my tiny sketchbook, so ended sketching the band members one by one. First was Tim.

MetalSketchvs #13 - PERSEFONE (AND)
Got myself stuck in a dark corner of the venue next to the bar, where i got my light source from behind while circle pits pushed everyone aside. So from a side view managed to do this sketch. Missed some elements that got out of view. Got signed at the end.

MetalSketchvs #12 - THE OMNIFIC (AU)
In the tight RCA club venue, they opened the night. It ended a simple and raw sketch of the trio band. Left it as it got.

MetalSketchvs #11 - GAEREA (PT)
Portuguese Post-Black Metal band. Awesome gig. Sketched it in portrait because of the banner, thou missed one member, lack of space. Small sketchbook. Used colored pencils to do the post-coloring.

MetalSketchvs #10 - PLINI
Finally, a sketch I liked the result. Still one of my favorites. All done during the performance. Got close to the stage so had to tight the band elements togheter. Added line cross render work for the shadding.

MetalSketchvs #9 - JAKUB ZYTECKI
Polish neo-prog musician and guitarrist. Loved his performance. This was my first autographed sketch. The band was surprised at the end. They liked it more than me.

MetalSketchvs #8 - SYLVAINE
Shoegaze solo project of Kathrine Shepard. Grey line pen sketch, with post watercolor. Don´t like how it ended. Ruined her face :( But captured the stage scene.

Post-Metal swiss band. Ended sketching all the band in a grey line pen. Watercolor applied later. Their reaction was awesome. First time adding show lights to the scene.

MetalSketchvs #6 - Björn Strid - SOILWORK
Ended too close to the stage, so sketched Björn on one of his key positions. Used a small moleskine sketchbook.
