Some people like Aphelele Lusizi were just not born to draw. That’s the bottom line. However, even limitations like the inability to draw visible shapes will never be a challenge too far for someone with enough determination to get their name out there.
Meet Aphelele Lusizi, whose drawing of Boity went viral with over 30,000 retweets.

Speaking to Tshisa Live, the entertaining artist explained his inspiration:
“At first it was just a joke. I love art but when I drew Boity that Sunday afternoon, I wasn’t trying to create ‘viral’ art. I then tweeted the drawing just for fun, many retweeted because it made them laugh. Suddenly it got serious, with people DM’ing me to draw them or asking me to draw other celebs.”
He’s even done President Jacob Zuma:
I did way better job😅 #JacobZumaMonument
Please RT to spread my Art and get me more clients🙏 pic.twitter.com/uxaWmI0BUT
