Indian Boy

I drew this picture by pencil only. The original format is almost like DIN A1, but other than the depiction here it has a lot of free space to the right. This boy, I found on a photo, immediately caught my attention. I asked a friend from India if many young boys sit there like this. He told me that this is very typical, they are thinking a lot, already in early ages. Maybe about how they can support their families and how to survive. Such a young boy, yet he looks already old in his face. Although the round silhouette, when you look closer you will find an extremely skinny boy. This picture with so many contrasts has so many things you could think about, I just had to draw it. I hope you like it like I do. Carolin

I first thought it was a photo as well - incredible detail, his expression is very powerful - great artwork!

you refered to "DIN A1"- b/w film i presume? this could easily pass for a photo. a very powerful image and extremely well executed. great job!
