I Am Guessing,

that when these portraits are started,


they look just like scribbles,

 Cambridge Dictionary definition of scribble: ''to write or draw something quickly or carelessly',

 so are these scribbles or portraits?

 they are the work of Liz Y Ahmet, who is a self-taught artist who uses a seemingly messy technique to create incredibly detailed and expressive female portraits,

 the talented artist’s technique is intentionally messy so as to “portray the chaos of emotions that are hidden beneath” her characters’ mask-like visage, photographs Liz Y Ahmet/Instagram,

“Liz is an expressive portrait artist who has always been fascinated by faces,” Liz’s profile on Inprnt reads,

 “She prefers to select a photo reference that best conveys her emotion at that time, and create a piece spontaneously, with more emphasis on getting the emotive content than focusing on accurate a representation of the face. The portraits are always female using various mediums, with the faces often portrayed mask-like, the main objective to convey emotion, the mask – the external, a shield presented to the world and the scribbled technique – the chaos of emotions contained within.”

 what amazing 'scribbles' if you call them that,
