When l was creating the artwork l faced this problem- l didn’t know what Nehanda looked like. So l tried to find places to find any information, and photographs of Nehanda. At the end of the research process found her photograph with Kaguvi on Google search and chose to use it for drawing. In the preparation process, l edited the photo by removing Kaguvi from the right side of the photograph. Also rotating it by removing Nehanda from the right to the left side of the photo and making the subject big.
In the drawing process the photo that l was copying Nehanda’s image from had two problems that l faced the subject and the background were contrasting. So l had difficulty separating the subject from the background in drawing. Also the tones were confusing me. This process was not good for me because it made my drawing to be flat.
