The Passage of Time

This image of singer Sade dates from the mid 90s and was intended to be the first in a series of portraits of beautiful and intriguing women all bound together in one sketchbook. For some reason I never got around to doing any others but now that I've found this it makes me want to renew my goal. The challenge in doing this piece was to do something loose while still maintaining the essence of the source material. Despite the date of this piece, I consider it to be a success and one of my better works from the time period. Pen and ink and watercolor in Aquabee.
