I can't write anything about her because she not my.client. She's an Instagram model. I fell in love with the pose so I decided to create an art work out of it. I even got the reference from a fellow artist, whose name is Blessing Ekpenyong with the label blessed art

Here are the steps on how I did the portrait.
I drew my grid lines and made my sketch then started shading it gradually. It's one of my masterpiece and personal collection for 2024. Since it is my personal collection I didn't rush it .I started working with the hair. I must be honest the buttocks took my time more than every other feature in this work. I was very careful. Since the portrait is small and use my tombo mono zero eraser to erase lights, highlights and fine lines, making it real and accurate. everything went well. This is one of my portrait that is done with graphite/charcoal powder. As usual I love detailing my drawing well. I love it when my fans, client or admirers say "WOW" when the see the finishing of my portrait, so I went back and painstakingly brought out those details on the clothe/bedsheet. Making it look so real.
