Who are the artists that draw portraits of Black people?

People who draw portraits?

  • where do you get your pictures from? I haven't drawn in a very long time and I'm now very rusty and in serious need of practice. Which magazines/books do you use to get some decent pictures from? The only decent place I've been able to find any smashing pictures from is Vogue, but these are all models I've never seen before in my life. It's much more fun to draw people I know of, like musicians/actors/actresses. Getting my own camera and taking my own pictures of people I know would be ideal but I'm a terrible photographer and I don't have a camera and I know they're pretty expensive. So, know any magazines or books or what not with decent pics?

  • Answer:

    Well, I always use google images [that is, of course if I can't get a live model] and i just search through certain themes, e.g. dancers - or something like that. Magazines have good pictures, but drawing real people who aren't airbrushed or covered with makeup is better for me, like an old man with tons of wrinkles grinning, or a child with wide blue eyes looking into the sky curiously. It's both a challenge and inspires emotions in others.
