Artist's Comments

Far, far too long ago, suggested that I dry a drawing of a different ethnicity. About a year ago I started this, but various things, such as homework, prevented my finishing it. Then summer came, and the air-conditioner 'set' all of the drawings in this sketchbook (our airconditioner is as good as a fixative spray, I swear). But, two nights ago, I dug it out again, to see what I could salvage, and finished this.

So, this is a Himba Tribeswoman.
The drawing is *old*, but I still like it.

Materials: Quill 110gsm sketching paper, 0.5 mechanical pencil with #B lead, #8B solid graphite pencil, blending stumps, cotton buds, tissues, plastic and kneaded erasers.
Time taken: Over the space of a year, about 12 hours.
Size: A4

Enjoy! =D

nice! great pencil work as always, but well planned too. the black in the background really makes her face 'pop'.
:iconautomaticgirl:
That is so amazing-her face is beautiful, the shading is perfect! You should be really, really proud of this even if it's 'old' =D
