Original freehand portrait of my eccentric friend "Rooboy" (2017)

It's good that I still have this drawing with me, I was so lost in the zone that I didn't take progress shots while doing it. I only made a rather "poor" video while blending the finishing touches with a cotton bud. See video below.

My friend Rooboy, as he is fondly called had been asking me to draw him for a while because I was always busy. So I picked up my pencils one fine morning and just snapped out of reality.

Rooboy and I were colleagues back in Bowen University, Nigeria. He is an extremely eccentric person; with awards to show for it 😁, so I wasn't too surprised when he sent me this picture of him holding a gun even though he has no military attachments what so ever. Only God knows where he got the got the gun.

Summary

Title: Rooboy
Size: 12x10 inches
Medium: Graphite and charcoal pencils
Duration: No idea!

I made this drawing last year during my National Youth Service (NYSC) in Katsina state. You may not understand the latter if you're not Nigerian though 😉.

Thanks for stopping by, hope you like the work and please share your thoughts.

Till my next post...

PEACE OUT✌
