Portrait in pencil of a Malay lady
A returned customer.
Only saw him when he collected this framed up portrait (he placed his order via email, which almost all my clients did).
Told him that he looked familiar.
He said he used my service when I was in Clarke Quay.
Wah! Thought I saw him when I was busking in Orchard, and my shop in China Square.
Maybe, but I didn't ask further.
Back to this drawing:-
A fully-drawn "Tudung' (the headscarf which the Malay ladies wear) may look too heavy on this portrait.
I left it out partially. It helped to give this portrait a more dynamic layout too, based on the angle she looked at.
