It is brilliant idea..the red socks ,I mean...socks has significance in dreams...The all image has the atmosphere of old times...their sitting and expressions,reminds me of my grandparents,not that they look alike,but the atmosphere...not include the red holey socks... ;-))) AmaZING WORK!

Sher, you love and understand people and it seems that the pencil/graphite likes you. So, it's perhaps easier for you to draw the Red Socks Sitters than it was for Vincent Van Gogh when he was creating his Potato Eaters... Good creative luck. SASHA
