Durrell's Sketchbook
-
@Bobby-Aquitania Yeah, I agree. I believe I should follow my gut no matter what. As far as figures goes, Pac and Biggie were definitely big figures back then. But also Suge not only he was imposing but he really did a lot of damage to my community back in the 90s and even recently when he killed another legendary figure back home, so though Napoleon and Caesar were historical, with Suge situation it's a current reality that still haunts people.
In other words here's a sketch of Joell Ortiz.

It's a good likeness, especially since he lost the weight. I have to confess I didn't know him, but Google has everything... what is the connection with Suge? Who is the legendary figure you allude to? In the 30 minutes of research I just did, that felt like a huge trip back home. I'm originally from the Bronx, but live in Canada now with my wife and son... on another subject have you ever thought of selling your work to Rolling Stone. Your work seems perfect for them. Sorry I gotta run, but I wanted to share this piece I did of Aaliyah when I was first learning Photoshop, hope you like it...

@Bobby-Aquitania That's a good pic of Aaliyah. I'd study a bit more on painting her hair. As far as Suge's victims:
The one on the left is Terry Carter, used to be a record exec got ran over in his truck is deceased. On the right is Cle Bone Sloan he's an OG blood who started a fight with Suge got hurt real bad

And found an article saying he would not testify against Suge. The evidence seems compelling but perhaps he blames himself for his actions leading to his friend's death and didn't want to put anyone else in the line of fire.
As to her hair, yeah I never finished the piece. I'm gonna blame it on my lack of skill back then. I should go back to it, but I'm not sure if I kept the file. I'll look into it and get back to you. Perhaps I will try it again... you throwing down the gauntlet? Just kidding.

@Durrell-Odom Awesome sketch - you take sketches way further than I do before painting haha. I just get enough information down so I know where I'm going. You really refine them. This one is amazing.

@Bobby-Aquitania Jack Hamm's Drawing the Head and Figure book has a great reference on learning to draw hair. You should check that out. Everything else looks good.

@Ace-Connell Thanks. One of the critiques I got was to develop my sketches into near-complete drawing pieces cause I would do scribbles on Moleskine sketchbooks when those are expensive.
