![HeadStudy_BlackWoman_Dreads](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/3X/e/b/eb5106d841993ef350c9bc927d04bc3deef866be.jpeg) I wanted to do a head study of someone with darker skin as recent struggles with a client image made me realise I don’t do nearly enough of them. I’ve done quite a lot of studying recently with regards to anatomy and perspective and I definitely felt more confident in my process because of it. I’m really happy with how this turned out 🙂 [Here’s a video](https://www.instagram.com/reel/DO5ymktEoe-/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==) I made showing a timelapse of my painting process for those who might want to see 🙂 ---

Love the violet colour accent in her hair. 💜 It goes well with this skin tone. 👍 ---
