Pen Drawing Of Tupac Shakur - Title: Never Stop Dreaming

After my previous drawing of "Little Girl" , I found this drawing very interesting to do - Portrait of 2pac which I entitled "NEVER STOP DREAMING".

Actually, I never came to meet this LEGEND ( TUPAC AMARU SHAKUR ) on the image but according to what I've read and heard of him, I felt to draw him. So I was wondering where I could get the title for this his work. Hold and behold, I came across one of his quotes which I felt for.

Despite the Thug Life he was from, his kind of words are something else which inspires a lot to we the Young ones. He once said, "During your life, never stop dreaming. No one can take away your dreams".

So its like, Your dreams are like your baby, the mirror that links you to your destiny. They are all you got. No one can take it away from you unless you let it go.

Tupac Shakur (2pac) was one of the leading LEGENDs and still said to be one of the greatest of all time. Though he never fulfilled all his dreams, he has left a legacy which will never be forgotten.

Still at the age of 25 when he died, its been few people whom have made more legacies to pass his and even with more age than his.

According to his story, he lived in real hardship before he became Famous. But due to his truth and facts that he said (usually through his music), he was killed.

It's been two decades now since he died and his case is still unsolved. He once also said, " why do people hate me, is it because am black?". "I’m not saying I’m gonna change the world, but I guarantee that I will spark the brain that will change the world". That's it, that's a real quote from a true LEGEND.

So what do we also say? Are we going to give up on our dreams because people are trying to bring us down? No, We just can't quit!

Lets stay focused and keep DREAMING till it comes to reality.

Thank you.
