Two of my favourite people share a birthday today. My daughter is the grand old age of 18 and my dad is the slightly grander old age of ((number redacted :) )) So I drew a card. Although, that said, I always draw a card for their birthdays (although Rosie's drawn card comes next week at her party. Wifey organised the card for today as she found one that was too perfect not to be bought).

Anyhow, when I draw a card I nearly always reach for the watercolour pencils, which I love using. Here's a bit of a picture progress report on how it started through to completion.

(initial sketch). (loose pencils).

(watercolour pencil). (watercolour pencil and wash). (final pic with Pentel brush pen on top).

It would take way too long to explain the in-joke, but the card went down well, and everyone had a lovely day.
