Little green dress

Pencil  drawing  of a child dressed in a long green dress. I came across this pin while looking for faces to draw. The drawing  is half realistic and half expressive .The idea behind this was to  draw a portrait with classic techniques and  slightly modern ,hence the splash of colour.

Sunset on the Watutsi

I find the Dinka tribe's most popular cattle,Watutsi,intriguing.The idwa of the portrait was to capture  the lengthy horns as the sun set on them.The results is a fiery orange sunset with black horns and a herder to care for these majestic beasts. They were,hence,my inspiration for this watercolour painting I  laid on my sketchbook.Enjoy pieces of me.
