Description "I've been 40 years discovering that the queen of all colors was black." -Pierre Auguste-Renoir

Full sized piece that I reworked this year. I originally did this for a color quote project, where we had to pick a quote based around color and make a design that corresponded to it. Since I'm not huge on typography and illustration is more my style, it was the direction I decided to go with. I really had forgotten about this piece until I found it pinned on Pinterest by someone, and it made me want to redraw it. The old one was originally on tumblr, but it's also in my scraps.

I'm happier with the way it turned out, and I hope I see more improvement.

I love her armor and her dreadlocks. But I like you're using the quote because humans were originally black and Africa, Australia, Southeast Asia, and the Melanesian islands was populated by black people but they all had different features so we could them apart physically.

Thanks! Yep, that’s why I used it this way! I had always seen black used more negatively in the past, so I wanted to show something more positive, regal, etc
