Hello steemians and my fellow members of @worldofxpilar. I'm starting a new collection. I hope everyone is doing great!? And I hope you had a productive and fruitful weekend? How is your week going. It's great down here. From what I'm seeing, this year will be greater than last year. Your favorite artist has something for you. I was cooking and it's done now. I'm here again, but this time with a mosaic Portrait Of an icon. I want to present to you a realistic mosaic Portrait of a one time former president of South Africa. More og such will drop next month.
I'm planning to do more. We have legends like Michael Jackson, Bob Marley and more. Just stay tuned.

Here are the steps on how I did the mosaic portrait
I drew my grid lines and made my sketch then started drawing out the different shapes gradually. It's one of my masterpiece and personal collection for 2025. I took my time to cut out the different colors in those shapes and I then stick them on the chipboard accordingly. I made sure I got the actual shape so that each can really take it place. The work was herculean and complicated. This is my first time of trying mosaic. I think I will do better in the next one. Just watch the progress shots and drop a comment to help me improve.
