Late again. That's it; no more contests until I stop going back and forth in time, LOL!

I always loved Sade's music, and thought she was a unique beauty, so I thought I would attempt her likeness for @agneslaczo 's I love the 80's contest

I started the drawing today in a coffee shop in Ktown. I took some fun photos of the cafe with the "Retro Camera" app in my phone.

The Mocha Latte was so well made it held it's art till the end.

I meant to start by laying down olive tones, but I used "bronze" by accident, and didn't realize until it was to late.

Then I added in purple and brown shadows and light beige and yellow highlights.

This is how I left it at the coffee shop. I finished it up at home.

Beautiful sketch. Love the way you have used the colors.

Thank you so much.

I haven't found an artist like Sade yet.
She is one of my favorites.

Ooo, really cool! I've always loved the effect you get drawing on black or dark paper. It's a different mindset. The lighting looks nice on her, love the colors.

Thank you. My favorite way of drawing. It harnesses the power of my subconscious and does not aggravate my astigmatism.
