Work In Progress: Yoruba Girl
I hate to do super complicated drawings but I have to challenge myself more. This isn’t complete. I still have to draw the designs on her clothes and the motifs on the fan. I’m very happy about this drawing because I sketched it last night when I was supposed to be studying for my Management exam and I didn’t use any kind of image references. I didn’t look at anything; I drew it completely from my head. I just pulled out my sketchbook because I was fed up with studying and drew this on the fly in about ten minutes flat. Today I did the inking, and I just finished the preliminary ink.
This was the drawing earlier today:
So, for all my Yoruba friends and all the Yoruba members of Blogsville – here’s a Yoruba girl trying on her Igbo best friend’s clothes. ^_^
I have to leave a comment.

This is beautiful. Would you color it in at all? If not, it’s lovely enough.
Her face has to be my favorite feature and it’s very much like mine.
