I love this illustration because the technique of her illustrations are interesting.The way she painted the hair of every single lady she painted.She use the 'sexy' look of expression.She definitely research on beyonce and probably see's her video's and pictures and made a good artwork from the research.The garments that were used by the ladies are sexy and it shows the trait mark of beyonce.For example,the expression,the poses,the types of clothes beyonce will wear and also the hairstyle.
