I have been working on a new project for a few days. Recently I have been focusing more on creating special and unique drawings with a lot of details. I also draw them on bigger paper than I used to before. I rarely do drawings of celebrities anymore because I don't idolize them like many do. I'm thinking about making portraits of all the native people of the world like the one of the Kenyan I did a before.
I have started on a genuine Jamaican Rasta man but it's far from finished so instead I would like to share a drawing I made last year of Bob Marley, another Rasta legend. This is one of the last portraits I made before having a big break from drawing. Sometimes the motivation just isn't there and it was like that for me last winter.
This is one of my favorite portraits I've made the last few years. I really captured the joy in his expressions in my opinion. Let me know what you think in the comments :)
Below you can see the process from start to finish
My reference
This is actually another drawing but I can't find the original photo anymore and I don't have it on my laptop, The original photo is taken during the same time as the one below

You're so good with pencil. Will you teach me?
Thank you :) I will have some tutorials in the near future where I go through how I draw step by step. Keep an eye open for it
You have great drawings! Again very successful! :)
Thank you very much :)
You’re welcome! 😊
It's a great illustration of Bob Marley. If my dad saw this, which is from those days, he'd be thrilled.
Thank you! Maybe you should show your father :)
From here I feel the good vibes of your portrait together with the good music of Bob
Haha nice to hear that :) he made a lot of good tunes
