I draw for this illustration three female member of three different human species, 45000 years ago: homo florensis, homo sapiens and homo neanderthalis; I make female figures because I think usually humanity is representated for a male (exactly, a white -caucasian- male 30 years aged, aprox.)and I want to balance this stupidity. If modern humanity born in Africa, first humans are africans, no europeans. An my sapiens Eva is African Eva. Neanderthal is a exclusively european specie and I decide make a white skin for my neander Eva. Respect to florensis, Nat. Geogr. illustrators use black skin for his first images and I decide to continue, but is only a hypothetical pattern.
I make a detailed pen sketch, to scan and add the colour in Painter and Photoshop.
