Hi all!
Happy new week. From my "African Child" drawing series, I present to you my new art work that shows what some little children are passing through.
Listening to Lucky Dube's music title "Think about the children" and drawing this piece. And I felt like crying when I heard these line
Sitting at the door one morning, looking at the children going to school.
Then I thought about the ones in the street,
Moving up and down, no where to go.
No education, no future.
Then I thought about their parents.
Why do they (children) suffer so much?
And most especially this one:
"If you (their parents) really don't need children, why do you have to burn them?"
The work depicts two little boys dressed in rags - the elder one is carrying his younger brother. They must have been going through a lot after their parents abandoned them.
This is what a lot of children are facing especially in this continent of the world called Africa.
Big UPS to Lucky Dube for that big message through his music.
The drawing was done with a blue ballpoint pen on a cardboard paper and I used scribble technique to create this piece. Below are my steps:
The above sketchbook was personally made by me with cardboard paper and other materials such as Top bond snd paper cover.
Have a great week.
