Uganda

I've been studying people-drawing by watching tv and sketching faces as quickly as I can. Last night I watched a documentary on Uganda children that managed to escape from the local rebel army who kidnapped them & forced to become soldiers, and are trying to return home and to a normal life. Needless to say, it was all very tragic. We don't really hear much about it over here. And I realized I had never really drawn people from Africa before

these ones came out looking Asian

we have some Ugandan friends (who just randomly visited us yesterday!) and they've told us about growing up there, and still have family over there.
we definitely don't hear about things much.
