I call this digital drawing “Mind body and soul.” - I included some extras from the process. This is also a revisit from images used to create art for my last show with Anna Makar, “Reflections” (Swipe left until you get to the original concept) #figuredrawing #figurestudy #figurestudies #blackisbeautiful #blackisgold #goddess #space #life @theelevatednomad (at Detroit, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bwvkq2dgdJf/?igshid=o3owior6fthc
