30 faces no.15

Doing this drawing brought back great memories.
This is an Indonesian woman who was at a medical clinic which I helped with in Banda Aceh, Indonesia, just about a year ago.
I love how well defined her features are, and her very distinguished look.
This was done with a brown watercolor colored pencil, on sketchbook paper. No erasing.

You're right she has strong features and is quite distinguished...and looks friendly...based on her eyes and mouth.

Great expression in her eyes. I find drawing with colored pencils to be liberating -- we have to accept where it goes, because there's no second chance!
You also have the right amount of shading to make her face pop out of the page. Beautiful!
