*UPDATEd Jan 26th, 2008*
I have totally re-worked many aspects of this piece form when I first Posted it. Now I am finally happy with it. :)

In 1985, Steve McCurry's Photograph, of then unknown Sharbat Gula appeared on the cover of National Geographic magazine, and has since become one of the worlds most famous photographs.

This is my Graphite and Airbrush rendition of that photograph.

Media
- 11"X14" Strathmore Smooth Bristol.
- Staedtler Mars Lumograph HB - 7B
- kneadable eraser
- White eraser
- Blending stumps
- Goldens Airbrush acrylics

Time:15-20hrs maybe more

Thank you for looking and as always comments and critiques are always welcome.

It's very good, the eyes are as piercing as the photo

Thank you! I was hoping I would not loose that quality due to the lack of colour.

It looks really good, Jeremy. Love the hair. That's a lot of folds...you are patient.

I've seen the documentary where Steve was searching for her and those piercing eyes.

I watched you change and never knew
That you would be like all the rest
