I Spent Two Weeks Drawing 15 Native American Portraits

I created these portraits in order to submit them to a competition. I crammed to get these done in time to enter, spending about 8 hours a day for two weeks to finish them all. They are drawn with pencils on paper, each measures 18” x 24”. I looked at historic photographs for reference. In the end they were not accepted by the competition but it is no loss to me. I love what I have created.

I chose the Native Americans as my subject because I have a Native American in my family lineage. I don’t know very much about this person though, so the drawings are the result of me trying to connect some how with my family history. By spending time drawing these individuals I was able to consider more closely who they may have been, what their lives were like and what we may have in common despite living in vary different times.

I hope you enjoy my collection of drawings.

Hey there, Pandas! My name is Diana (though some prefer to refer to me as Diane, Deanna, and even Liana sometimes), and I am a Community Post Moderator Lead for Bored Panda. As my position title states, I am one of the people (employed Pandas for bamboo) over here who work with the community side of things on this website to ensure all is well, and while at that, I also help various creators and artists get recognition for the incredible work they do by connecting them to a large worldwide audience. Other than that, outside of work, you can find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making a pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, concerts, and cats (heavy on that, because I am a cat mom).

Wow! First, I have to say that Native American facial features are the most fascinating to me: my soul dives into their portraits. I know most of the originals you drew here, and even though, some looked traced: I must compliment you on the details! Especially the hair and feathers! I am very impressed and see all the work, love and patience you put into it!
