Inspiration Avenue challenge Purple and Green inspired this color pencil drawing of a Peruvian Shipibo tribal woman. Shipibo women have a matriarchal society. They spin cotton, weave cloth, make clay pottery, necklaces and nose rings.
You know I like this! Her face is great and the purple hair/head covering looks fantastic. The shading on her face is beautiful....you do such amazing work with colored pencils!
Wow - amazing drawing - full of expression and passion. Love the way you've used these colours. Original & great entry for the IA green and purple challenge!
