The Anne Frank story...

Probably, all of you have heard about Anne Frank. The little girl in Nazi Germany trapped in a hideout with her family, during the Second World War, who maintained a diary during her captivity. Later in 1945 she and family were discovered and sent to concentration camps. Sadly, she didnt make it through the war.

But her diary was found and published and it has gained worldwide appreciation and fame since. So last to last winter ,when I took up her diary to read, I was so greatly affected by her story and the way she expressed her feelings as she grew up in hideout, that I decided to dedicate two portraits to her...

Even these are old sketches, done around a year ago... to be precise, last January...

Well, once my copy got drenched wet during travel and colour from something else seeped into the pages. So, there are these pink marks all over the first sketch... 

Both these sketches were made with HB pencils on chart paper material.

Long live Anne Frank's memory...
