Description

I drew this with Sayuri nad Mameha in mind. From Memoirs of a Geisha. I wanted to show in this Maiko's face beauty and sadness. The two things that are part of a geisha's life. They are very misunderstood and usually end up in their proffession not by choice. So I tried to portray all that in this geisha's face. It's my special tribute to Mineko Iwasaki. The first geisha to actually tell her life story, the real "Sayuri".

Can I use this as a skeleton for my "Memoirs of a geisha" project? Just to get a character's face as awesome as that. PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE?
