Louis Armstrong Portrait
55Hello, I've been gone for far too long and now it's time to begin again! This is my first portrait drawing of 2015 where I'm experimenting a little bit more with the background as you have seen/ shall see in the video. I really enjoyed drawing this particular picture of Louis Armstong with his trumpet...
Louis Armstrong was born in August 4, 1901 New Orleans, Louisiana and died in July 6, 1971 New York City (NYC). He was an American jazz trumpeter, singer, and an influential figure in jazz music.
A bit of history about the genre: From the days of bebop (1940s), when jazz ceased to cater to popular audiences, and instead became solely about the music and the musicians who played it, jazz has been symbolically linked to the civil rights movement.The music, which appealed to both races, provided a culture in which the collective and the individual were inseparable, and in which one was judged by his ability alone, and not by race or any other irrelevant factors.
