My crayon Art Of an African woman

in #ntopaz5 years ago (edited)

I titled this piece:
"An african woman" done with a CRAYON

A lot of people who are not from my continent, may find it hard to relate to the struggle of an African woman, African women are strong resilient, beautiful, patient, hardworking and always ensure their family eat well . It is often said by most african youth that "No food taste like your mother's food "😊😊 every african kids always have this mentality at the back of their head because they cherish what thier mum does. Some of the cooking skills i was able to develop today was as a result of the influence of my mother. In some region of africa women really don't have much equal right with men especially in a traditional setting, male child are well cherished because they feel the male child will take up the affairs of the family. Vital decisions are being made by the male child. Despite all of this, african women still stand strong, they work hard to also assist their husband by ensuring their kids feed well. This drawing was done with a crayon, the last time when i used a crayon i was still in highschool.

All that with crayon?
Really talented stuff! Keep em coming!

You have done really good job and well explained your post... Thank you for showing respect for women... Amazing art work...

I respect women because each time i see the sacrifices my mum take, just to make me happy it's enough reason to respect women, women are to be loved and also cherished, this art just brought out my soft spot for women lol.

Did you use an "artist" crayon or, its just the same crayon that kids use to draw and scribble around?

I used a normal children crayon, to draw this...😁😁 well crayon can be so stubborn to blend on paper but i just had to make use of what i had ahahhaahahhahhaahha. It's being a while @nurseanne84 sorry for my inconsistency online school activities just took me away.

you're not alone.i too have the same issue

Its just so sad though well i'am in my final year doing projects so i hardly have time to do other things, but hopefully after this year i will come back fully, because i am rounding up my schooling in November.

I admire your motherly feeling, in short African women are strong and enterprising, it's good that you express it and share it, that says a lot about you, my friend! In Venezuela we have a very popular saying, "He who does not love his mother, can not love anyone". Your drawing is very good and it continues practicing that just as your mother perseveres to help you grow you must do the same so that your talent grows!

Thanks so much this is so nice of you to comment such strong motivational words to me, i agree with your quote

he who doesn't love his mother, can not love anyone.

True fact no can ever take the place of our mother.

Nice effort! MAN! 👍

Some time ago, I tried to draw with crayons, but only the tree and a house went well, it was the only thing that worked out well! It's great to see that someone can do really better things with crayons :)

Ahahhahaahha yeah crayon is not easy to use but its just patience and time and your blending techniques you will get it right thanks for your concern
