This is the final portrait of my influential people series. Here you shall notice my style deviated revolutionarily from that of the last two portraits. Nelson Mandela had a very eventful life. I think a monotone doesn’t do him justice so I tried out with few more tones, using bold and fast strokes. I deliberately leave it incomplete as I know the world we are living in is still far from ideal in Mandela’s eyes.
