Sharbat Gula (Pashto: شربت ګله, literally "Girl of the world") is an Afghan woman who was the subject of a famous photograph by journalist Steve McCurry. Gula was living as a refugee in Pakistan during the time of the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan when she was photographed. The image brought her recognition when it was featured on the cover of the June 1985 issue of National Geographic Magazine at a time when she was approximately 12 years old. Gula was known throughout the world simply as "the Afghan Girl" until she was formally identified in early 2002. The photograph has been likened to Leonardo da Vinci's painting of the Mona Lisa and is sometimes popularly referred to as "the Afghan Mona Lisa".

Thank you for sharing. I see great apprehension in that face and such awful sadness. This was done just in pencil? You are an absolutely remarkable artist. Can you spare some talent because I'm in desperate need of some and you've obviously got more than enough to spare because you are amazing.

Powerful subject matter and amazing drawing. Do you have any tips from one artist to another.
