Portrait Titled: Owambe Smile

in Sketchbook13 days ago

Today's piece is titled with an indigenous name conversant to the western part of Nigeria. (Yoruba's) This is a gorgeous lady beautifully made up for an occasion (owambe) which stands for party or celebration. This happens often here in Nigerian where alot of ladies put on and look their best in attending great occasions or wedding ceremonies.Rumours have it that if you are a single lady you may be lucky to get your spouse there too. Above all what stood out for me in this piece is the brilliant smile, which i believe is the best make over.
This is an original piece thay was done eith graphite, charcoal and a white pen on pelican paper.
Proper detailing was paid and attention to for resemblance.

Above is an original picture of the muse that inspired this piece.
I hope you enjoy this.
Tell me what you think.
