This is the first try out of my collegue parents. The father is already dead (16 years ago) and the drawing was made after a print of an old photo that meanwhile was lost. the hole family doesn't have any other photo. So he wants to surprise is mother with a photo of them two together. I'm going to see if he likes this one because i've tried to make is mother younger that the photo to match the father's photo. If he doens't i'll give another try. Nair

Good job. The ages look similar. The only worry would be if she were slimmer when she was younger.

My feelings are the same. Since i don't have another photo of her a had too manage with what i had. But i'll see with his reaction if i got it wright or not. But my guess is that she already was a bit big because i think she had two boys and my collegue is 28 years old (she most had him when she was nearly 50 years old because he says that she is more or less 80 years old now).
Thanks Paulette Nair

Wow how fortunate that you did do the drawing making it perhaps the only image still available to remember the father by! As Paulette said, there doesn't seem to much discrepancy in the ages in your drawing.
Very good Nair - I hope your colleague appreciates it!

He did enjoy it. He doens't remember how his mother look when she was younger. And the photo that i had is the only photo that she looks younger (50s). So the only person that could really see if it's a match is herself. You see, people that work in little farms they tend to look much more aged and out of life that they really are. Thats way he is really happy with the photo i've put a sparkle in his mother eyes ...now i have to wait to see the mother reaction. He said for me that maybe the brothers want a "copy" of that drawing.
Thanks Rose Nair
