Hi there! 😄 My latest UnicornPostbox blog post is progression photos of an amateur ‘YungBlud’ drawing 💖 Hope you enjoy 💕

I printed off a photo of YungBlud at the library and blew it up to A3 size. I used my A3 light box again to trace the outline of my subject, and used Fine Art sketching pencils to sketch. The chosen image was definitely more complex than the previous Keanu Reeves portrait I drew, and it’s quite quirky, but I built it up bit by bit, trying also to visually portray YungBlud’s energy. The wild hair was quite tricky, and some of the other shading I found fairly difficult too. I feel the black and red checkered background, and contrasting green ‘halo’ aptly portray YungBlud’s bold rock star personality. Also, the black promarker outlines add a pop art effect, to which I am a great fan of… and here is the finished piece:

I admire YungBlud aka Dominic Richard Harrison, very much for how he uses his platform to spread love, of course he also is a very talented musician 💕 From my home town too, woop woop 🥳🥳

I don’t have a next portrait planned as such, but I have 5 diamond arts still to complete from last Christmas haha 😲😲🤣 So it might be a good idea 💡 to crack on with them, also we have a ‘Wicked’ Halloween 🎃 themed pub painting in October, so please do keep a look out… 😄😄

Thank you as ever to take the time to read/view. Many thanks, Lauren xx
