Tribal marks are marks use to identify individual and their culture. They were widely used during the 19th century and before. These days, civilization has taken place in most of the African countries and people rarely get those marks on their children faces.
Here is a sketch of an African, a Yoruba woman with tribal marks on her face and native hairstyle.
The drawing was done with a blue ballpoint pen on a cardboard paper. I used scribble technique to create this piece. My steps are below:
Thank you.

Funny enough, some people in this part of our African country has refused to be civilized, I saw a child today with this tribal mark and the Mark just disfigured her face. It's their choice anyways.
Good job as usual 💪
Yeah, few people have chose not to depart from it. Perhaps they want to keep their tradition alive. Irrespective of that, one shouldn't disfigure one's face.
Thanks for your comment.
