Pen-and-ink portrait collection laid out in Jos, NigeriaJos, Nigeria

In Jos, Nigeria, a collection of pen-and-ink portraits is displayed on a tiled floor, arranged in rows. The artworks, primarily headshots and upper body portraits, feature a diverse group of individuals, rendered in varying styles. Some portraits are in blue ink, while others use red ink. The collection includes sketches of men, women, and what appears to be a dog. The background is partially obscured by a draped fabric with a patterned design, suggesting an indoor setting, possibly a home or studio.

The video shows a close-up of a person's face being drawn with a blue pen on white paper. The drawing is in progress, with the pen adding detail to the cheek and eye area of the portrait. The facial features, including the eye, nose, mouth, ear, and tattoos on the face, are visible. The drawing appears to be of a man with tattoos and piercings. The hand holding the pen is visible in the lower right corner of the frame. The background is white paper.
