I did another study for a #portrait of the Chinese-American movie actress Anna May Wong. It's based on a scene from the 1932 movie Shanghai Express.
Pencil, Chinese ink wash and brush and some graphite aquarelle pencils on heavy watercolour paper, portrait A4 format.
I find it interesting how different it looks from the previous one:
Attached: 1 image I did a quick portrait of the Chinese-American movie actress Anna May Wong, from a publicity photo from the 1930s. Pencil, Chinese ink wash and brush on heavy coarse watercolour paper, portrait A4 format. It's a study for a larger drawing I am planning, based on a different photograph. This is a way to familiarise myself with the face. I have already read a lot about her. The likeness is not perfect but I think the face has come to life. #drawing #fediart #art #AnnaMayWong
