Couple of things: I’m currently working on a portfolio so I am taking a little break from fan art-
I wanted to add more diversity to my works, because I subconsciously stick towards drawing features similar to mine (cough white cough). It’s a shame that I do- BC LOOK AT THEM THEY’RE ALL SO PRETTY WHAT-
Anyways random detail thing- I last minute added the purple highlights to contrast the yellow background (color theory) and I was kinda proud of it.
Have a good day and be nice to others or I’ll find you <3

In the 1950's, Lincoln was a cabaret singer whose cameo in a 1955 Jayne Mansfield film propelled her into the spotlight - in the film, Lincoln wore an iconic red dress originally worn by Marilyn Monroe in the movie Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. By the late 50's, Hollywood's desire to mold Lincoln into a siren starlet was at odds with the singer's own desire to embrace her natural beauty. During a time when studios ascribed to Eurocentric aesthetics, Lincoln's choice to wear a short Afro ran counter to the straight-haired, fair-skinned, prototypical femme fatale. In Black is Beautiful, Brathwaite's photos of the singer capture Lincoln's pivot from acting to jazz and her embrace of her natural, coily hair. The singer eventually married Max Roach, and in a symbolic shedding of her former image, Lincoln burned the Marilyn Monroe dress in an incinierator.
