Markers and ink portrait of little unknown girl.

(HB pencil on a 125mm x 75mm note card) The giant family robot. Loves his pigeons!

Sketchbook #11. Since the 100heads challenge was real tiresome for me, I devised myself another challenge - "50 heads". Basically it's a "100 heads challenge", but for lazy people) The rules are simple: I had to draw 10 two-page spreads of 5 heads, no time limit, no nothing. And I decided to use different materials for each spread. Spread #1 - ballpoint pen (+ a little bit of watercolour) - NEMOPHILA.

Charcoal and conte blanc on green sketchpaper

This is a little practice run with faces, all drawn from my head without sketching in pencil first.

Being a woman itself is a superpower. Remember, you matter regardless of your age, appearance, color, gender, religion, sexuality. #BreakTheBias and make your dreams come true! Happy International Women's Day! #InternationalWomensDay #InternationalWomensDay2022 #IWD2022 #IWD
