AFRO XXXI for Dominique



This is Tiffany for AFRO XXXI. Dominique had trees, pathways etc as her theme but I couldn't resist giving her an AFRO SERIES because when she came to London she told me that Tiffany's hair also qualifies a an Afro, I did my research and she was spot on!

This is not the usual smiling "TF" but a serious one posed by me because I always mess up teeth. So I got her to profile a serious look, so I could capture her hair and natural beauty.


This was done with Oil base pencil, graphite and Charcoal dust.

Once more, apologies for the lateness.

  5. Your afro series is awesome, I love her quiet expression, especially the arched eyebrow...very teacher-like. In addition the cast shadow on her neck is also very elegant and beautiful.
