Description I enjoy this man, because he has cool beads, and cool face paint, and cool head bands, and a cool lip piercing AND because he was freaking annoying to draw.

Been working on this on and off for the past 2 months.

No idea how long it took, everything below his jaw was done in around 4 hours and I didn't keep track of how long his head took.

Could be better, could be worse, but right now it's how I roll.

45x30 cm

please comment!

BEAUTIFUL ARTWORK! I just love realistic drawings
Believe or not I've made an oil painting of the same picture (I searched for it on the internet,back then I wasn't even a member on deviant art )it was in 2006. if you want, you can check my African paintings collection.
