This drawing of an Islamic Woman was created with pastel pencils. There is not much to explain about how I created it. It is rather self explanatory by viewing it. Just draw and blend from light to dark.
However, the background was created using Soft Pastel Sticks using brown , red and 3 different shades of blue. Building in layers and blending where desired.

/ May 14, 2010It passes on that feeling of a woman in a Burka (sp?). I believe what I feel is “solitary”. It is also rendered in such a way as to look like she is exiting the shadows. Good drawing.
