aight, for those of you who don't know who da fuck this is, He's BOB!! lol. an up and coming artist that favors hip-hop from Atlanta
I say "favors hip-hop" because he loves to mix different genres, whether it be blues, rock, techno, jazz, etc.., but he always make sure hip-hop is always in the equation. and it sounds great!!!!!!!!!!!
At least to me.
Now, I'm somewhat of and artist too... in the drawing category... when i feel like being one, lol. I could do alotta things with art, like paintings, oil pastels, cartoons, but my forte is sketching portraits.
Up into this point, I've only sketched hip-hop artists who are well established like 50 cent, Lloyd Banks, T.I, Eminem, Outkast, Jay-z, people like that so that whenever I showcase it, the people who see could recognize the person in the portrait and knows who he/she is..
Well I've went against the grain and sketched someone who people wouldnt normally recognize, this guy BOB!!
Wasn't really gonna show it off... hell... Just drawing it, period, was a splur-in-the-moment thing [Extreme Boredom]
But yea, I wasn't gonna show it off because
1) You may not know who it is
2) I haven't drawn anything in over a year so I'm kinda rusty
3) I'm just not really a "Show of my work" type of a nigga and I just for me personally
...But i think its time to stop being selfish and be open for criticism
(after all, I am opened-minded)
....Well here is the picture i was focusing on (Courtesy of XXL Magazine)
And here's my drawing....
It took me like 25-30mins to get the basic down (head shape, facial) and took me bout 40-45 mins for shading.
But something aint right about it, it seems... off (for lack of a better word)
A lil help?
And what'cha think about it??
(Feel free to say how you feel cuz I ain't that nig that's sensitive about his work. I can take the bad criticism chin up too cuz I beleive that makes me focus better on producing better pieces, dig?! so fire away...)

This is amazing, this is definitely not my forte when it comes to drawing. I can only do cartoons, but this is great. The shading, detail and shapes are on point...for someone who's rusty you did a hella of a good ass job. 11/10 rating
Yo this is tight and you did mad good for being rusty. Knowin that i dont like the realistic type of drawing myself cause it takes too much work and time to do correctly i dont fucks with it so i feel like i shouldn't put my two cents in...the only thing i can really see that makes it look off is the left side of his mouth so other than that every looks grazy to me B.
Did you scan the original picture onto the computer and photoshop it or somethin? lol it looks really good. Seriously. I can't draw so i can respect artwork of this caliber
