This was drawn from a photo of one of the most beautiful and confident women I have ever seen. I can't get over the presence she had in that one photograph. She's a model, and gaining a lot of fame for her beauty and new-found power in the marketing industry. Good for her, I say. (I kept the article, I thought it was so cool...)
What gave me the idea? Erm.. I was just looking at the newspaper article, and I loved the woman's face. My drawing instructor at the time demanded that we include writing in our sketches, so I had to incorporate that... and since I discovered her in the newspaper, I thought it would be appropriate to use newspaper clippings, and this is what came up. Does that explain it?
*grin* Newspaper was all I had at the time so guess what? It's the poor man's drawing paper. lol. Yes, I think she is from Mali, though I'd have to grab the article and look it up to be sure. Thanks for the comment, luv!
This is gorgeous, Mini. You can feel the confidenace pouring off of her. That is an amazing expression that you reproduced. She really commands your attention. Very well done.
Thank you my love! She seems a very confident woman, so I'm glad I managed to capture that. She's one of the most beautiful looking people I've ever seen.. It was amazing to find her picture in the paper.
Yes, I was very fond of this one - mainly because I was so very into her story. She's led a very interesting life so far. Thanks so much for your appreciation!
