Pen Strokes #2; Timeless beauty- Artwork of an old African woman.

avatar

Getting old is part of the human cycle. We can't avoid it. However, some people go the extra mile to look young and beautiful at old age. By extra mile, you know I'm talking about plastic surgeries.

I'm not a fan of such surgeries, but I don't despise people who do. They have their reasons. But then I wish people, especially Africans would appreciate their God given beauty even at old age. And I hope this artwork inspires you.

Excellent work! The highlights are quite like those of a photograph, although I realize it's the part you didn't draw on that make that impression.

Of course, I've learned to appreciate this kind of beauty. It's also about accepting who and what we are.

I like it, people should celebrate the beauty of old age too. Plastic surgery is adding fakeness to something that should be left alone and natural.

Wow friend, this is tremendous work, it really is super difficult to reach that level that great that you handle it so easily. I have made realistic portraits but only one could do it well, and wow it does not reach this level. Crack successes
