Happy and blessed Friday creative friends of Hive Arte, I am very pleased to greet you again and share with you my latest drawing. This time it is about a niche that I had not tried before, but that has always caught my attention and I really like to admire. I am talking about African art.
I confess that I have very little knowledge about African culture, but thanks to Hive I have had the opportunity to meet and make friends with several African women, specifically from Nigeria, and I admire how kind, talented and beautiful these women are. Such is the case of my fellow NeedleWorkMonday community members who every week share with us their talent and skills in sewing and crochet. Among them I can name @monica-ene, @bimpcy, @glorydee, @amiegeoffrey,@wongy, among others
This style of art, which reflects the beauty and form of the African woman, has always caught my attention. I have seen small sculptures, crafts, paintings and decorative pieces inspired by this culture that are really beautiful, so I decided to try a simple drawing to fill in with lines and lots of color.
The cheerful and vibrant colors are very present in traditional African fashion and costumes, according to what I have been able to learn. Their dresses are always very colorful that's why I decided to use colors in strong tones for my drawing. I used a pattern of straight lines and semi curves to fill in the turban on this African woman's head and I loved how this color combination looks.
As I have told you before, this is an activity that I do to release some stress from my daily work, I am not a drawing artist, but I am a person who admires art in all its expressions. I can say that I really enjoyed doing this drawing and I would like to continue doing others in the same style. I hope my friends like it because they were present in my mind while I was coloring it. It was a pleasure to greet you, thanks for reading, greetings and blessings.

This is a masterpiece and doesn't even look like you are not a professional artist. I love the color combinations of the hair gear and every stroke of that pencil giving it a perfect representation of exactly how we tie our hair here.
I'm so happy to see you do this and even more excited that you picked an interest in our culture and lifestyle.
Thiabis beautiful and thank you so much for doing this.
This is such an amazing art, and you did so well with it.
It's good to see how you chose to share the African culture through your masterpiece. We love you so much. Sending lots of love from Africa.❤❤
There is no way one would believe you are not a professional artist, this is so vibrant and well represented, the colorful turban, bold gold earrings, and neck piece which we love to refer to as costume here, I admire your multi-talented personality, well-done ma'am. Thanks for the mention.
