Hello guys, good to be here again! Today I’d like to share this dope drawing I made recently of a woman in a Yoruba attire. She’s fully adorned with beautiful beads to match.

I started with the head gear as I usually do, establishing some background tones also before moving to the face. This helps to understand the facial tones better.

I worked with pastel chalks and Derwent colored pencils to achieve this, charcoal was very useful also in creating values and depth.

I have to say drawing the beads was quite challenging as I had to focus on the impact of light on each one. That took the biggest chunk of time in the whole piece.

Thanks for stopping by! It’s always fun sharing my work here.
