I had the pleasure of attending a concert by Grammy Award-winning artist Alicia Keys about 8 or 9 years ago in Tampa. She put on an amazing show to an enthusiastic crowd, and it was a truly memorable evening.
So when I came upon this image of Ms. Keys with her hair natural and unrestrained (and big!), I was immediately inspired to draw it. I love how it frames her gorgeous, delicate features, almost like the majestic mane of a lion, making this piece quite possibly my favorite of the collection.
