Chance the Rapper for Tampa Bay Times

Hello, dribbble! Thanks so much to Michael Kalinin for the invitation. I look forward to joining this awesome creative community. I hope I am doing everything right in this post.

My first shot is a really fun cover portrait that I got to do for The Weekend section of The Tampa Bay Times. I attached a close-up so you can see the texture; this printed at about 10x12in. I also included my initial rough concepts and final sketch of the art director's favorite concept. The art direction was "depict him as an innovator and explorer of the Digital Age."
