This is one of my latest sketches. Latest in the sense that although it was done three months ago, I haven't yet completed another. It's one of my favorites. My first with two profiles. It's taken from a picture in a book of portraits by National Geographic photographer Steve McCurry. I think the girl is the older sister of the young boy. They are waiting at a train station with just a shawl to cover them both. The girl has a look of tiredness an resignation. Her lips are slightly scowling or poutin, but more of a natural effect of probably a long wait. Her eyes are even too tired to blink. The boy on the other hand has wide eyes and an innocent mouth. They are looking in different directions. The boy looks as if he wants to be somewhere else and can't understand why he can't be there.
