I drew this picture of Louis Armstrong as a part of my US History class. He is one of the icons of the roaring twenties. I don't think I captured his looks very well but I think I did very well with drawing him quickly and efficiently. I first sketched out his outline in pencil and then went over in pen. I like his hand grasping the trumpet, and the stark contrast of the dark pen on the white paper.
I really like this one. The contrast makes the picture pop off the page a little. The reflections on the trumpet look realistic and the shading on his face looks natural. Nice job.
