What Is The Essential Question That Drove My Investigation?
What is the definition of a beautiful woman? I believe that there is no "real" definition that expresses what beauty should look like. Beauty comes in all different races and ethnicities from around the world. I wanted to highlight how there is no beauty ideal and that no matter how different one woman is to another, they are all beautiful. I chose to illustrate 7 different races and ethnicities that recognize the different features that distinguish their beauty.

My strength is drawing in graphite starting with a process of identifying specific facial features in women that make them uniquely beautiful and accentuate those features in a portrait drawing. With Invest.#5, I experimented with texturizing a different hair style - braids. For Invests.#6 & #7, I experimented with more focus on gradation of value and less lines. In Invest.#6, I added some white gel pen strokes to highlight around her eyes and other features. I plan to revise Invest.#4 - hair as well as Invest.#5- shading of the body needs correcting - uneven proportions and blending.
