Still trying to do something for Black History Month, I thought maybe to do a fashion sketch inspired by model Adut Akech, who is Sudanese by way of Australia. There's still a strong silhouette thing I'm trying to get here, but also adding a bit of detail to her face. I kept the blue tone but question how effective it is in this composition—it's reminding me of those blue Asian lady paintings form the 50s/60s. I realized as I was drawing it how inspired it is by David Downton's work—the pose with the craning of the neck, the color blocking he uses in his Warhol-inspired color block pieces. I didn't think of it until I started drawing it, so I should mention it... and hopefully find a way to get it to be more original.
