Title:

“Sister Chorister ”

Hello art lovers, so today I decided to share a drawing I did yesterday night, this work reminds me so much of those ladies in the church choir, as an artist I observe people and my surroundings a lot, what I see within my environment motivates me to draw and talk about them. In my country in some churches you will see some ladies dressed with such hats, one thing that will amaze you is how melodious there voices are, each time I go to church I always anticipate special musical ministrations from this choristers.

I started shading the hat, but before I proceeded into showing the darker tones I first of all, did hatching and cross-hatching shading on the hat before blurring it.

"Wow, this is a beautiful piece! 😊 The attention to detail in the hat is impressive, and I love how you've captured the essence of those lovely church choir ladies 🎶. Your shading techniques are spot on too - it's amazing how hatching, cross-hatching, and blurring can bring out such depth and texture. 👍
