digital ink illustration i drew to mark the anniversary of frida kahlo's birth. she looks directly at her audience, in 3/4 profile. her hair is in a chic bob (the image that served as the reference having been taken in 1926) rather than her famous plaits. frida's eyes are steadfast & unflinchingly reading your soul. colours are deep, vibrant tangerine & indigo blue.

#art #history: i promised myself that this year would be the one during which i paid tribute to the revolutionary, frida kahlo (born #otd in 1907), & then i was too busy to do her any sort of justice. not only have i rushed her portrait, but i've also had no time to write up the sort of blurb that she merits. she was a death-defying, genre-spanning communist powerhouse & diego was punching waaaaaaaay up. :)
