Drawing A Portrait [1636]

in Sketchbook11 hours ago

Hi all, greetings.

Here is my new art work. It's a pen drawing of a beautiful young lady with tribal marks on her face and a hairstyle called Double Buns.

While growing up I often see some ladies plait this kind of hairstyle but I didn't know the name. Until recently, I tagged it as Double Horns but the real name is Double Buns. Some also call it 'Two Chuku'.

In addition to her hairstyle, the marks on her face made her look exceptional. Till date, there are some tribes and tradition that still practice this. I believe most of the marks do have meanings behind them.

This piece was done with a blue ballpoint pen on a cardboard paper. I used scribble technique to build my forms. Below are my steps:

Thank you.

Beautiful girl with tribal marks, which tribe is this one?

I really can't tell. I guess it could be Yoruba😏

Your work is exceptional... Please draw a portrait of me☺️🙃

Thanks you!
You really need a portrait of yours? Then send me a photo...

I never seen that hair style here on women, even afro ones! New discover

Really? I think you should start observing them then. You could stumble upon one.

Yep, mostly I see men around not many women actually
