My parents are coming to visit us in Spain this week and I told my Dad on Sunday that I would give him his Father's day card when I see him here. I suppose its obvious...he is top of the pecking order! Well he is in Seville at the moment and he will be with us in Valencia this Thursday, so you get to see his card before him!

The line work in these four sketches was done in probably less that 10 minutes each. I am finding that using ink as a medium is making me think differently whilst I draw. I know when a mark is made, it is going to stay there..there is no erasing with a rubber or photoshop. I have used photo references for this work..I know its not necessarily the best method, as opposed to real life, but it served its purpose in this experiment.
