Dhanyawaad, Maa Saheb! I was trying to personify Draupadi. I really thought Rekha would fit perfectly into Draupadi mould. The voice, the skin tone, the sensuality, the unattainable one. I enjoyed drawing these two portraits, for sure!

Hello, my Dear Sweety! You ARE a good artist. I would say the second one is Rekha. And You have rendered a very good likeness indeed. The part about ‘dusky skin, etc,’ are they hints?
Love and Regards. 🙂

Yes, it is Rekha. Yes, they were hints.
I put a series of sketches as they progressed along the way. Thank you.

Oh, aren’t they visible well? I did scan them before uploading.
Am not very good at resize technique. Do you know how any simple method for enlarging my scans?
Thank you.

You should be able to edit
them as they have been posted,
it’s all a bit different around WP
now but it is possible because
I have added small pictures and
enlarged them through the editor.
Hey have fun today and I am sorry
that it has taken me an age to reply 😦

Hello iku2e. The sketch is of Bollywood actress Rekha.
But yes, in my mind, she is physically the perfect incarnation of Draupadi (btw, Drupada is Draupadi’s father). Hence I put in the description of dusky skin and husky voice – which fits both Draupadi as well as Rekha totally.

Yes, like I said. She does fit perfectly into my mental image of Draupadi.
