African Beauty

This is my pen drawing of a beautiful African woman, built entirely with layered strokes to capture her confidence and calm presence. I focused on the shine of her bare head, the depth in her glasses, and the subtle textures of her skin. The simplicity of pen brings out every shadow and highlight, letting her personality stand out without distractions. A portrait that shows strength, style, and softness all at once.
