CRTFD LVR BXY

This piece was made when the initial hype for Drake’s album in 2020 was circulating! It was an exercise of detail to capture the intricacies on his jacket and sweater. Capturing the materiality of his garments was challenging, but I learned a lot from observing the nuances of light while painting it. The exploration of colour was inspired by the Certified Lover Boy music video, and I tried to push some of the tones in his skin to push my understanding of chroma. I was still in the midst of my daily art challenge, so the floral on this piece was simply an aesthetic choice because the lotus vaguely resembled an owls wings to me. This is currently my second Drizzy piece.
