Description

In our house, Black history month is every month. However, in 2016 I vowed to start doing "fan art" and what better way to start but with my favorite African-American super heroes. The first and most powerful in my collection is the Honorable Frederick Douglass.

According to World Book Encyclopedia, Douglass, Frederick (1818?-1895), was the leading spokesman of African Americans in the 1800's. Born a slave, Douglass became a noted reformer, author, and orator. He devoted his life to the abolition of slavery and the fight for black rights. According to a new book by scholar John Stauffer, Mr. Douglass was also one of the most photographed American men during the 1800s.

All stages of the illustrations were done using Manga Studio 5EX. It took about one hour. Vector and full resolutions will be on sale at by February 5, 2016 at bit.ly/1KCQk2k.
