Post square 012913 ~ Patrolling the Streets of Gao

This was drawn quickly with charcoal pencil, mostly, and some colored pencil. I meant for it to be quite abstract, but I imagine you can tell pretty easily what this is. Amazing what one tiny square inch of a rather complicated photo can reveal.

The larger image, of which this drawing is a small part, is that of a group of Chadian soldiers on patrol in Gao, northern Mali.
