Tupac Shakur - Pen Drawing

"Behind every sweet smile, there is a bitter sadness that no one can see and feel."
- Tupac Shakur

Here is my new artwork. I drew a rap legend Tupac Shakur who is believed to be the greatest and most influential musician of all time.

He might have been tagged to have a bad side but he managed to overcome them. "All I’m trying to do is survive and make good out of the dirty, nasty, unbelievable lifestyle that they gave me." - he said.

Despite having a short career (died at the age of 25), he left something behind for the world to conceive.

"If you can make it through the night, there's a brighter day."
