Kei Meguro, Illustrator, New York

Description

This detailed graphite pencil illustration by Kei Meguro depicts a Black woman in profile, her gaze cast downward. She wears a heavy cream-colored knit turtleneck sweater that pulls up high across the lower half of her face. Her dark hair is styled in intricate, neat cornrows leading into long, thick braids that hang down her back and shoulder. The drawing demonstrates meticulous attention to texture, contrasting the soft, dense fabric of the knitwear with the smooth skin tones and the finely rendered braids. The background is a plain, neutral off-white paper texture, emphasizing the subject and the delicate shading work.
