This drawing was meant to be a preliminary for a painting, but in the end it was more interesting than the painting I based on it. This drawing is based on a photo. My goal was to draw a simple drawing with only the essential information from the photo. I wanted to capture the woman's expression. The photograph cut off above the hands, but I added the hands from my imagination because I thought it was incomplete without them.
