Description This is my Mom and Dad at Mom's prom in 1948. My Father passed away in 1974. I gave this as a Christmas present to my mother in 2002. The drawing now hangs in my Mother's room at an Alzheimer Home.

I used graphite pencils - H, 2B, 4B, 6B, 8B on unknown textured drawing paper.

Here [link] is the photograph from 1948 that I used to make the drawing.

Thank you! Did you compare it to the photograph link I put in the description? Since I didn't feel this was a strong drawing, I thought I'd at least show people I can make my drawings look like the people I'm drawing. I'm rabbling. It's my bedtime. Thanks again!

I did and the resemblance was very good.
It's morning here on the other side of the world, but have a good night sleep to you
