Description I swear I had not procrastinated on this that caused the delay. But my obsessive-compulsive self urged me to add a few brush strokes here and there only to be cropped later. I'm just glad I have something I could submit again, this time of my own

Size: 11" X 13 3/4"
Materials:
Watercolor paper
Pencil for outline
Coffee... lots and lots of coffee

***
A DD! Yay! I still need to go to the office to finish off a deadline... But I'm so excited! This is a pleasant surprise! I may not be able to answer much of the comments for now but I'll go over and try to answer each one over the weekend thanks to Salvador-Rudy for the feature! and thanks everyone for the comments, watches and faves... I may not be able to answer all the time but they're always appreciated

Wow. You can feel the fear and anxiety just by looking at her eyes alone. I wish I could capture that level of raw emotion in my drawings. Excellent work!

Thank you! It was a challenge for me as well, especially to capture fear and not a add a lot of lines in the drawing

solo la angustia de esa mirada salva la obra , has recargado las pinceladas pero ello quizas ha reforzado tu estilo , bello y emocional

Gracias! sorry I don't speak Spanish. But I do agree with your comment. It has always been my style (on coffee painting) to show the brush strokes to show a certain level of realism but not to the extent that it replicates a photo. Also, in coffee painting, it's difficult to get that smooth transition once you achieve a certain level of darkness in the shade. I tried to make a gradual transition from light to dark on the face and rougher texture on the background. But the protective coating emphasises the strokes when applied even on the face. I don't mind the result but you make a valid point thanks again for the comment

The thing I really like about this drawing is that it's a black person. I mean, personally I don't see so much portraits of them... I like every kind of people, that's not my point ! {I suck at explaining....}
Anyway, this is really awesome and you deserved the DD well. (:

Thank you! maybe more brown (Southeast Asian) but yep we could have darker skin than usual that's strange though, I thought people with darker skin (for me) offers more opportunity for contrast and textures, I actually love doing drawings of people with either darker skin, like African or Jamaican skin color type, or old people because of the wrinkles.
