I LOVE stuff like this! If I had any money, I would buy it, LOL! :P I love the composition - the horizon line is high which gives this a feeling of "weight" (the weight of history?) - and the simple palette with very few colors - almost feels like a black-and-white photo that's been superimposed on a color one. Love the linework (that grass really looks like grass!) and the use of white space. Awesome :)

I like the story behind the drawing. Good attention to detail, shadows and highlights. The expression on the faces are very nice

Great art work. Very commemorative of that time in history. The book "The Children" tells it all, and is was a mixed race that marched. Your colors are excellent. And yes, things have changed. A lot.

Powerful subject Bro!

Love the reasoning behind your choice of doing those marchers in b/w! This really does make the point.

Every one of them has a different expression which I find fascinating and show that you the artist has a very great aye for detail.

Love that sky!

Yes, we need to be reminded: a rainbow nation in black and white. I think you have made a powerful statement here and marshaled your talent in support of an excellent cause.

Wonderful event presented with emotion, dignity and a sense of unity. Great artwork that does justice to the strength and courage of people united in one cause.
Best of luck in the contest.
