Description

During my stay in Tokyo, my host was a very friendly Algerian man, whom I have exchanged so many interesting topic about the history of the Berbers; or in their own language "Imaziyen", which means "Free People". This drawing is dedicated to one of the most hospitable people in the world, the Berbers. May one day, I'd be given the chance to travel to Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia to experience such warm hospitality first hand.

I'm not that good at drawing cute, pretty lady.....maybe it's because of too much drawing women warriors?  


Inspired by this beautiful music - The Outstanding Eyes of Rita by Anouar Ebrahem

Beautiful face, much more accurate than many pics I've seen before; the Berber physical appearance is accurate: I've a few friends from Algeria and they have a similar appearance (exepted if they are Arab Algerians)

Reminds me a bit of Queen dihya

I am glad Akitku mentioned me here, this is a wonderful piece and I am very glad I got to view this. Honestly, you are a very talented artist and I like how detailed the head dress is. Well done!

I have to thank her as well, Akitku is a wonderful and talented artist, and you have extensive knowledge about history. Both serves as great inspiration for me

I really like this sketch since Tin Hinan or Kahina, the Amazigh warriors is on my women history list.

Maybe I should draw her one day, Kahitna is an intereting historical figure. Thanks

Looks like a cute, pretty lady to me. You don't give yourself enough credit. Very soft features and a nice smile. She seems a bit mischevious.

This is a beautiful drawing! I love the details on her headdress, you can almost feel the weight of it. Also, the drapery is illustrated very well, and I love that her eyes are filled with pride and confidence!  Excellent work!
