"He had a young boy under him, a pipel, as they were called - a child with a refined and beautiful face, unheard of in this camp....One day when we came back from work, we saw three gallows rearing up in the assembly place, three black crows. Roll call. Three victims in chains-and one of them, the little servant, the sad-eyed angel..."
-Elie Wiesel, Night

I read the book recently...its so...moving. Such a terrifying memoir of one's experience during the Holocaust. i was inspired by the words to draw this...

it scares me to think that because this is a memoir (non fiction text), this pipel i drew was actually i real person

O_O omg

im pissed because it didnt turn out the way i wanted it to be... but im happy with the wings ^_^ i hope the pipel looks sad enough.... here im still trying to find a style of drawing... im really having problems with drawing eyes...i cant decide what style D:

Night (c) Elie Wiesel
drawing (c) meh

OMIGOSH! When I read "Night" I wanted to draw this scene more then any other! I don't know why, but when the pipel was hanged I wanted to cry more then any other time in the book. It was so sad T__T
