Remember the portrait with the slicked-down hairstyle that almost looked like a haircut? I decided to draw another version, but this time, I faced her a bit forward.
I like how this hairstyle keeps things simple. Without long braids, flowing curls, or a big afro taking up space, the attention goes straight to her face.
It's interesting how drawing the same hairstyle from a different angle can make it feel like a completely different exercise.
Two portraits, the same hairstyle, but a different view. Which version do you prefer? The angled portrait or this straight-on one? For me, I like the angled one more..

Have a lovely day....
