A quick sketch showing the great singer Cesária Évora flying above her island in Cape Verde. If you wish, you can view some details here: [link] Cesária Évora is a Cape Verdean popular singer, nicknamed the "barefoot diva" for performing without shoes. She is perhaps the best internationally known practitioner of a mournful genre of blues music known as "Morna". Morna is based on the Portuguese fado and features bluesy vocals set against a background of acoustic guitars, fiddles, accordion, and cavaquinho, which is a small, four-string guitar. Évora has been described as a cross between Edith Piaf and Billie Holiday.

Made for "Art Official Concept", an art gallery based in Cape Verde (Western Africa).

See the whole "Pencil Vs Camera" album

>>> Review from THE DAILY MAIL for this picture: "Up in the air: A famous woman (Cesária Évora) sits in a swing in the clouds, held aloft by two doves over a mountainous landscape" (Kerry McQueeney, The Daily Mail, Sept. 2011)

Update: See THIS VIDEO showing some 18 Pencil Vs Camera images in progress (with a small animation and an original musical composition).

It always amazes me how you get most if not all the lines in your drawing to line up with the background.

I'm impressed with the fact you were able to capture the clouds , with such detail, and then be able to align them before they move out of frame. Great job!
