Hey guys. So I've been working on this new piece for a while now based on the traditional account of the origin and existence of Oduduwa, the first kinge and founder of Ile-Ife. It is believed that his existence was divine and of the God and he's solely esponsible for the creation of earth. According to legend, Oduduwa was sent by Olodumare also known as God. He descended into the valley of Ile-Ife with a chain from the heavens and a cock which is believed to have had a role in the creation process. I added other features like the traditional horsetail in his hand, mountains, trees and a staff which with African art patterns to make the piece look more traditional. The drawing shows Oduduwa sitting on a chair above with his head above the clouds while he used the mountains as his foot rest. I really just explored while creating this piece as I got some more ideas for this piece while creating it like the mountains, the chain, and the cock. I created this piece using the scribble technique on the autodesk sketchbook app and I hope you love it.
THE MAKING OF THE ART
