Even though very late to the party, I finally watched RBG recently. It WAS everything I had heard about it. And more. Which led to the need to capture her in the sketchbook.
Initially I had her on the page with a white background. But decided the burst of rays was most definitely called for. So I wandered out to the garage to find an old stencil Sister did years ago, and settled on a bright orange acrylic in lieu of a can of spray paint.

There is no way to possibly sum up this documentary. Trailer below provided for your viewing pleasure. Highly Recommended.
Yes it was really good. Did you see the movie, On the Basis of Sex?

You nailed this portrait. I think in general your sketches are getting better and better.

I like your RBG portrait! She is a superhero -- I've got the action figure. :-) Mine has a T. rex at her knee. :-)
Thanks for the RBG trailer. I've just put the movie on reserve at the library.
