AEDM Day 17+18 - A Likeness of My Mom

I tried to catch her from a photo. Boy, portraits are tough. I wrote a 'Likeness' rather than a "Portrait". More of a caricature..I like the loose feel and I didn't do a underlying sketch, I just drew it with my markers. I have to say the left side of her face is spot on but the right, I got carried away I guess. I have a nice photo of my sister and another of my two brothers and my son. I'd like to take a stab at those. I suppose it I were to do a true caricature it would involve exaggerating one specific feature (?). Don't know. Work has been super busy so I had a good run of it but the coming days are going to be tough as my colleague is on vacation and I'm helping to cover him. ..I am soooo looking forward to Thanksgiving and having those four days off. woohoo.
