In Poland, Grandmother's Day (Dzien Babci) is January 21.

Happy Grandma's Day to all grandma's!!!

   

The characters are Lady Wiktoria/Victoria, the Lonely Warrior's grandmother, and two of her other grandchildren, Jadwiga/Hedwig and Zenek/Zeno (who gets name-dropped in The Lonely Girl and the Lonely Warrior), two of the Lonely Warrior's siblings. I drew two, a male and female, to represent me and my my brother   

This was my first time drawing an older woman. I really wanted her to be beautiful and dignified, but also visibly aging. I am proud of the results but I'm obviously biased lol
Let me know what you think

They are pictured against the background of the Tatra Mountains (inspired by Morskie Oko: goo.gl/images/sDKwJn ). Grandma is wearing a traditional Podhale region skirt. Jadwiga's beads and both the pins are also traditional.

Recognize Grandma's pin?
 
Its the same as the Lonely Warrior's - she gave it to him as a gift before he left home on his travels.

Can't spoil too much more about them for you yet.

The image will be featured in my next coloring book!

I love how you put all the detail and know what each piece represents, makes it feel alive. You drew, colored and with love made a wonderful piece, congrats on your first old person drawing!

Thank you!!! That's so kind of you!!! I worked really hard on it. I wanted Lady Wiktoria/Victoria to be both beautiful and obviously elderly, because she has been through a lot in her life (can't spoil here, might tell you on Facebook or in Notes if you want ) and because I wanted to represent that - a beautiful and elegant old lady

Thank you so much!!! Worked really hard on that!!! It took forever!
I did my best to make grandma as gorgeous as possible lololol She represents my grandma in this specific picture (my grandma doesn't look like her and Lady Wiktoria/Victoria's personality wasn't based on hers, but this card is for her )
