Hello friends in hive, especially in this art community! I'm back again with another artwork, and this is the final reveal as I have mentioned before on my last post I'm super excited to show you guys π βΊοΈ and here goes, tada!
The Woman in the portrait
Meet Kumang, the enchanting masterpiece inspired by the alluring demi-goddess of Iban folklore. Within the vibrant tapestry of Sarawak's cultural heritage, Kumang embodies ethereal beauty and unmatched talent, setting her apart from mortal Iban women. So that's her. Kumang. βΊοΈ
What inspires me to draw her
The recent Borneo harvest festival inspired me! I loved the pretty Iban women's costume called ngepan indu. It made me think of Kumang, a demi goddess from Iban folklore, wearing it. That's how I got the idea for my portrait! π
I hope you readers love what I drew. I used watercolour pencil for the background this time and maintained using colour pencil for the portrait. Thank you for reading and viewing my picture π I hope you guys love it and support my work, thank you! π
