After listening to Chanmina’s the First Take performance of “Bijin”, I had a burning desire to create a drawing of a powerful figure directly staring back at us with piercing gaze. I’d like to think female nudes are more than just an object being appreciated for its beauty. I want them to have their own voice and ability to see us and even judge us for how we are consuming them. “Bijin” 5 inches x 7 inches Graphite, tracing paper, acrylic, ink . #imaginativerealism #figuredrawing #eyepple https://www.instagram.com/p/ClBvrDkOkrQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
