Graphic Design Oriental woman (1/9)

I did this for Graphic Design in 1987. We all did something like this. It’s Cross hatch and so many dots it will drive one mad, plus dry brush. Took me 3 days. 

The subject, was from the days of Pol Pot, and there was a newspaper clipping of people being shot. This woman clutching her baby caught my eye. I couldn’t get her out of my head. She was beautiful but frightened, understandable in her circumstances.

Done with the old difficult Rotring pen on Butcher board. I now have that framed on the wall. It’s quite a large picture.
