Father's Day Card

I'm trying to keep a promise to myself not to buy cards, but make them :S It's Father's Day today and I've left it to the last minute. I decided that I'd make a card with a theme that means something to dad and to me. I sketched my old walking boots. Decades of reliability, a companion to the highs and lows of life - you can see where this is going... I drew the boots five times, trying different styles.

Next, I tried excruciating detail, but that was taking too long and where do you stop...?

  Abstract...

  I finally chose a cartoon-style, finished in watercolour.

Happy Father's Day, Pop! x
