This week Joe Macleod at the City Paper asked me to illustrate a "Kind of Blue" era Miles Davis. I prefer drawing older, more haggard versions of people but I couldn't decide to go scary Miles or cool Miles so I did both. Sometimes sketches aren't enough and you just have to do 2 finals. The top illustration was chosen but I still kind of prefer scary Miles haha. It also ended up printing black and white so I thing a graphite realist portrait might have been good too. I'll post the thumbnails for this later because they are pretty funny to look at.

Hey, both are done very well . . . I prefer the second one as well, but I can see why they went with the top version . . . fantastic work Alex!
Thanks Jason, sometimes I can't decide and leave it to the art director. I think the one they chose was probably better suited for the article but I prefer the portrait as well.
I don't know the first has a strange spookiness i like both of course both are great.
I vote for scary Miles because that's who he was. Wouldn't want to share a car to the airport with him.
Thanks Callan and Fred! Miles was definitely a scary looking guy.
That's pretty awesome that you gave the AD two finals to choose from. Great job, I dig 'em both!
great work mate
Thanks Tom and Nori. I get indecisive sometimes and just have to draw 2 finished illos.
