ok,i got bored doing normal 'cut & paste a rapper' covers,so i decided to try do something more complicated involving drawing & painting in photoshop (if your no good at drawing dont waste your time) because thats what ive been doing most of my life (drawing and painting).so heres my method.

1-first find a pic of a rapper,i used snoop:
(note:hes been cut out obviously,you will have to do that yourself)



2-then you draw him using plain black,i used a combination of the paint brush & the lasso tool to remove and create corners:
(not as straightforward as that,its the hardest part)

3-then use the colour grey to draw the shadows (on a different layer) and feather it then set the layer to 'multiply' (this will make the gray burn the colour below):



4-then paint the body (all on seperate layers)

5-then paint the face a plain skin tone on a seperate layer,reason for this is your gonna be messing around with it a lot after:



6-then using a combination of the burn tool & the dodge tool create the shadows ect,this isnt easy and has to be correct or it will all fuck up,look at the shadows on the origional of course for reference:
And you got your final pic:



just for reference this is the order the layers should be in:
(they should also be created from the top down if you do it correctly)
