OK!...I FINALLY finished this drawing! YIPPIE!! Original size is about 6 inches by 8 inches using Micron pens sizes 02 and 05 for the drawing

Let me know what you all think! It's been a while since I finished an ink drawing and I am happy with the results! :D

How adorable is this?! Love the little guy's long john's the old timey feel to this whole piece!

What is he tacking the stocking to? I want to say a mantle but perhaps it's a screen of some sort?

Murray, GREAT job with the ink work, especially on the boy's jammies. It's hard to get light, delicate shading like that.

THANKS for ALL the comments! :D
It is a fireplace mantle he's nailing the stocking to and he is just on the outside of the fireplace screen. I guess the bottom left could have been a bit darker.

awww cute Murray, love the little buttons on his tushie especially... ;) Nice linework :D

i love micron pens for their ease of use, they just don't feel as intimidating as a dip pen does. At least to me. :rolleyes:

was this piece for something special?

THANKS TJ! :D
This is being printed out smaller and the prints will be put on Christmas cards that my wife makes....she has even added a bit of color to the Boy's PJ's and stocking using a watercolor pencil.....maybe I'll show you all a sample of a completed card?? :idea: :)

Love it! Pen and Ink is something I used to do a LONG time ago - this has a wonderful feel to it and will make an excellent Christmas card!

THANKS Angela! :)

OK...didn't know if I should start a different thread for the cards...so I'm posting them here.

Here are four samples of the home made cards with the art work.
As I stated earlier, my wife comes up with all the designs for the cards.
Let me know what you think :D

How fun Murray! How much better could it be than to send a Holiday card created by the two of you? Not only that, but your lucky recipients always get an original.

Well done you two!!!
