Here is the start to my Lil Wayne project. I started out using a gradient mesh to create his face. It is a lot of playing around with the anchors and tones. The biggest thing that I found was to actually sculpt the face as I lay down the gradient mesh points. Once you get the basic structure, for the most part the rest usually follow in accurately. I really am excited about this project. My plan is to make his dreds come out of his hat and then turn into two-dimensional forms to give the piece a different twist.
