Description
Sorta over-stimulated right now... I had a bunch of half-done sketches and this was the product of one of them... The ever-so-lovely Erykah Badu in a sorta goddess-type state (she already sorta is, but I just exaggerated on it a little bit).I found a pic on her myspace page that I dug, and I drew it out on paper first to get a feel for what I wanted to do (I might post that too), and then just re-drew it in Illustrator alongside the pic.
Semi-inspired by my Boots Riley joint. I just fucking love drawing fros.

Thanks dude. Yeah I wanted to give that sort of ancient mystical type feel to her too, which is why the white of her eye is sorta green too... Like Earthy, you know?

I love that woman. She's probably one of my favourite female performers.
This is beautiful, man! I'm sure she'd like it, if she got a chance to see it.

I digg this one, but that woman irritates me. Dude you need to draw angie stone! Old school fro, Diva-esque and crazy vocals. The men want her and the woman wanna be her.

That'd be damn sweet. I'm gonna try and send it to her somehow... She has a lot of fan art on her page. Maybe I could squeeze in somewhere.

i love the skinny neck- looks almost like a charicature. i like th black lines on her skin too.
I didn't even recognize her in that photo you were using. i guess i'm so used to seeing her in that turban-like thing!

Yeah I sorta followed my drawing a little more... In the ref. pic she had like straight hair, and that ain't typical Badu, so I re-drew the fro.
