According to a conservative estimate, more than 300,000 children across India are forced to beg, using everything from addiction to drugs, to threats of violence and actual beatings.Child begging is something which can be twisted and manipulated by larger forces at work to give it the shape of thriving business as it functions mainly on sympathy-mongering.
I did a drawing of the face of a girl child on ('x12" drawing paper, 250gsm.. Thereafter I used a couple of filters to highlight the face, darken the background and the hair,airbrushed, adjusted the dark and light , to bring it to this traumatic image of the girl. Drew the zigzag lines across her face to indicate the broken childhood and dreams.
Enjoy!
