I Challenged Myself To Draw 31 Portraits Of Strong Female Role Models For This Year's Inktober

Thank you for all the lovely comments. And even more for the name suggestions. I'm planning to continue this series but not as a daily challenge & with all kind of different materials. As for today, I picked Cleopatra as the next lady: https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp4S8P_lQJE/ https://static.boredpanda.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/cleopatra-sm-5be31b9b13d0d.jpg

I also find her death quite tragic. Cases like this show how important is to talk about mental health.

Probably S. E. Hinton, even though I mentioned her earlier. She was very young when she wrote a world-changing novel that changed many views on economic status and how it affected youth.

I Challenged Myself To Draw 31 Portraits Of Strong Female Role Models For This Year's Inktober

Yoo Gwan Soon (Korean national hero who lead the movement of independence against Japanese colonial rule), Sagao Ogata (Japanese diplomat, human rights related work); Emma Goldman (a prominent feminist international figure, who was born in Russia), Ivana Brlić Mažuranić (the most famous Croatian writer overall, not only amongst females, author of a good number of fairy tales with nice messages and interesting morals), Gianna Nannini (living classic of Italian rock'n'roll/pop) and there is more, but I'll end here. Feel free, everyone, to add more. Let's learn about important women of this world. ♥

Not a fan of Beyonce, but well said! Also, it seems to me she has way more fame and influence than her husband. Maybe in the past, he was the more successful one, but now times are different.

I Challenged Myself To Draw 31 Portraits Of Strong Female Role Models For This Year's Inktober

The most sang character in punk history. ♥

I Challenged Myself To Draw 31 Portraits Of Strong Female Role Models For This Year's Inktober

Maybe Isadora Duncan? Since she was very little, she was raised only by her mother, she had practically no real education - and despite it she managed to create her own dance style and later open her own dance school. And Judith Leyster, a Dutch Golden Age painter? She isn't well known, 'cause in the past her paintings were often confused with the work of Frans Hals, but she was a great painter, a member of Guild of St. Luke and has her own apprentices. And Irena Sendler, who during WWII constantly put her life in risk while helping Jews to live in and to escape from the ghetto?

I Challenged Myself To Draw 31 Portraits Of Strong Female Role Models For This Year's Inktober

I found information on Laura Bassi, an 18th-century Italian physicist who looked like this! Maybe it was accidentally spelled incorrectly.

I Challenged Myself To Draw 31 Portraits Of Strong Female Role Models For This Year's Inktober

Sick Boy, all of these women are legitimate role models for many successful girls and women! Also, Beyonce doesn't need her husband to have power and influence. Neither does Eleanor Roosevelt!

I Challenged Myself To Draw 31 Portraits Of Strong Female Role Models For This Year's Inktober

This was wonderful, however I'm sure there are so many more women of history that would be good to draw! S. E. Hinton maybe?

I Challenged Myself To Draw 31 Portraits Of Strong Female Role Models For This Year's Inktober

A literary genius.

I Challenged Myself To Draw 31 Portraits Of Strong Female Role Models For This Year's Inktober

Absolutely!

I struggle to do one picture, much less 30! I'm jealous (in a good way). You have a ton of perseverance, and the drawings are really good.

I Challenged Myself To Draw 31 Portraits Of Strong Female Role Models For This Year's Inktober

I think I'd add Cleopatra (she was smart and a strategist and less a temptress like she is often portrayed in popular culture, as if she was successful only because of her looks), J.K. Rowling, Gloria Gaynor and even Michelle Obama. Anyone else wants to add someone?

I Challenged Myself To Draw 31 Portraits Of Strong Female Role Models For This Year's Inktober

I love her. I mean I don't know that much about her, but that which I know, I like

I Challenged Myself To Draw 31 Portraits Of Strong Female Role Models For This Year's Inktober

Ok, this one was apparently worth her salt (and her royal stature).

I Challenged Myself To Draw 31 Portraits Of Strong Female Role Models For This Year's Inktober

And she was only twenty when she wrote "Frankenstein". It would be impressive even today, not to mention beginning of XIX century.

I Challenged Myself To Draw 31 Portraits Of Strong Female Role Models For This Year's Inktober

"I did not get on the bus to get arrested. I got on the bus to go home." Meaningful.

I Challenged Myself To Draw 31 Portraits Of Strong Female Role Models For This Year's Inktober

Her dedication to science is impressive. Also, she was a very courageous woman who did not hesitate to fight for her happiness and needs. I respect her not only for her intelligence and knowledge, but also for her courage.

I Challenged Myself To Draw 31 Portraits Of Strong Female Role Models For This Year's Inktober

Victorian era is fascinating for me. That was a weird time. Amazing progress of medicine and generally science. Electricity, beginning of modern surgery, time of big social changes. On the other side, huge gap between rich and poor, lots of corruption and ridiculously devoted people. No other time was so contrastful, maybe except nowadays.

I Challenged Myself To Draw 31 Portraits Of Strong Female Role Models For This Year's Inktober

Another woman, who is very important to me. She was extremally tallented and that's a pity that her end was so sad. Her "The bell jar" is a masterpiece for me. Also, it's really moving that before her suicide she still took care of her children - she made sure that they are safe and made breakfast for them. Tragic life, shocking death, lot of wasted potential :(

I Challenged Myself To Draw 31 Portraits Of Strong Female Role Models For This Year's Inktober

I love her, her style and her determination That's incredible that despite all adversities, she has come so far. That's really inspiring.

I Challenged Myself To Draw 31 Portraits Of Strong Female Role Models For This Year's Inktober

A legit role model.

I Challenged Myself To Draw 31 Portraits Of Strong Female Role Models For This Year's Inktober

I always found drawing faces really hard. Great work!

I Challenged Myself To Draw 31 Portraits Of Strong Female Role Models For This Year's Inktober

She's gradually retreating from politics. She's giving up the leadership of her party this year and plans to be the chancellor at most until 2021 (unless it comes to sooner, unregular elections), after that she plans to fully retreat from politics. I don't agree in everything with her but I'll still miss her.
