#MelaninMarch Day 8: Mursi, a tribe in Ethiopia 🇪🇹 Okay so the super snowstorm dropped about 22 inches of snow on my town and we were without power the whole day yesterday. Hence the lateness 🙃 But no worries, I'mma make up the difference tonight 👍 Also, really dark skin, like blue-black skin is very tricky to color (and to photograph). I feel like her skin came out too warm even though I was using my darkest markers. Any advice? . . What's Melanin March? This is a hashtag/drawing challenge where I draw a poc every day for the month of March! This is not only to help me practice drawing darker skin tones but also to encourage others to draw more diverse characters. . . . Disclaimer: All of these illustrations come from reference photos that I do not own. Apologies in advance if/when I make inaccuracies in my work. I can't act like an expert on any of the cultures I draw this month, so please refer to your local Google if you want more info ;D . . #art #illustration #instaart #drawing #drawingoftheday #drawingchallenge #sketch #inkedsketch #poc #diversity #mursi #ethiopia #lipplate #headdress #markers #prismacolor #blickmarkers #coloredpencil #artchallenge #instaartist #bianabova

Mursi Tribe. Hereby some images of Mursi women without a lip plate. The women don’t wear them all the time and eat without the lip plate which means the stretched lip hangs down, some are that stretched that they hang under their chin. The Mursi live in the Omo Valley an isolated region in Ethiopia. Their habitat is an extremely hard to reach area between the Mago and Omo Rivers. The women wear clay or wooden plates in their lower lips or earlobes. The lip plates range between 4 and 25 cm. and is usually done by the mother when the girl reaches puberty. The lip plate is a beautification and this tradition is valued by both the parents because indirectly any man who marries a Mursi woman pays up from 40 to 60 cattle, depending on the seize of the lip plate. Some girls even increase the seize and some are allowed to make their own design. #mursi #tribes #tribesofafrica #lipplate #beautification #omovalley #tradition #tribeculture #culture #photograph #portraits #traditionalearrings #dowry #design #ethnicjewellery #ethiopia #ethiopianwomen #beautybloggers #characteristic #attraction #ethnicgroup @ingetje_tadros Mursi Tribe.
