Description ~*Peering through the wire mesh wall of her cubicle, a young Vietnamese, whose parents hold refugee status, awaits passage to a free life in the West. This was out of a National Geographic magazine. It is ebony pencil on 8.5 by 11 inches on sketch paper..in my sketch book.... approximately four and a half hours of work went into this one. The hands were truly wonderful to sketch....hope you can enjoy it as much as I did*~

You must have done a really good job because before I even read your description, I figured that the child was Vietnamese. Bravo.
