I don’t normally do fan art of Supreme Court Justices, but Ruth Bader Ginsburg is a damn superhero. I did this one after seeing the RBG documentary with my mom.

No matter how hard I try, anytime I draw a person from a photo it comes out way flat. I don’t know why that is. I mean, obviously, the photo is flat. But I don’t understand what it is about the line choices I make when drawing from a photo versus real life that causes the photo drawing to look so flat.
