Lined Queen is a digital portrait of a Black woman seen from a low angle, as if she were towering above the viewer. I used bold blocks of warm and cool colors, layered with fine lines and scribbles, to sculpt her face and neck like a glowing mask. The contrast between the dark background and the luminous skin tones amplifies her presence, turning her into a modern icon. This piece explores confidence, beauty and quiet power through a graphic, almost sculptural approach to light and shadow.
