Lupita Nyong'o: A Beauty Simply Out of This World © Neil Feigeles,  Illustrated in photoshop. Every so often a performer arrives that truly shakes up the status quo in regards to what beauty is. And as a person who prides himself in capturing likenesses, Lupita Nyong'o's seemingly perfect face was something I had to try to capture. 
To showcase her in space might seem odd, but the buzz on the internet is that Lupita, might be offered one of the leads in the next Star Wars film. And seeing that Lupita's beauty at least in my humble opinion is simply out of this world. Having her showcased amongst the stars seemed appropriate and different then what others might do. And honestly, I'm pretty happy with how the stars came out...

Below is a chart of the finished sketch as I created it using my bamboo pen. No tracing,  just drawing from scratch just like the good old days of pencil on paper, but with the benefit of modern technology.
