A few words about this drawing.
First, it's a fanart and it is not available for purchase as original or prints so no copyright infringement intended here. It's made just for practice (hairdo for the older picture, unusual angle for the recent one) and for fun!
Why 2 pictures? Because Donnie Wahlberg is totally worth it ;) I used to listen to the NKOTB a lot when I was a teen and Donnie was my favorite. These last years, I've been following his successful career as an actor (which should give rise to another drawing sooner or later) without even knowing the band was back together! Now that I know it: time for a drawing illustrating these 2 NKOTB periods!
To avoid an empty space in the middle of the drawing, I chose to add the logo of the Boston Celtics, the basketball team Donnie Wahlberg supports as well as the number he usually wears on his jersey. As for DDub, it's one of his nicknames.

You can see more portraits of Donnie Wahlberg in the "Donnie Wahlberg / NKOTB" gallery.
