Hello Folks, here i am again with another interesting work created by me, this is an imaginary drawing of a boy with a full afro hair, as an african person i take pride in my identity because that is what make us africans.

This work is a work i decided to enroll in @xpilar art competition. here is a link if you are just seeing this competition for the first time.
My drawing is an extention of my self, portraying my unique identity to a society where we are often face with racial discrimination for the color of our skin. The reason i created this drawing of a boy with a full afro hair is because i want any one of my kind who sees this to feel important, unique, special, and confident in their own skin. this work doesnt balls down to just black, but it cut across all form of racism towards mankind. i watched a documentary some few days ago by a popular Ghanian Youtuber "WadaMaya" who did a documentary about brazil. it was really sad to see how so many afro brazilians feel lost in a country where their ancestors built.
This work is just a reminder to any one going through a lot because they have been racially abused or looked down upon, to always remember that they are unique and are special like everyone else.

Progress shot
This first stage is the preliminary stage, which shows the frame work of every drawing you create, it is often seen as the starting point of every drawing, every drawing starts with a sketch.

As you can see on my drawing, i starting giving the work was pencil strokes so as to give it a shade, in the process of doing this i had to consider value, and tonal gradation. tonal gradation has to do with the level of light and darkness on a drawing, you can either work from dark to light or light to dark, but ensure you understand the concept of light and highlights of the skin tone.
