IF - Legendary


What came to mind when I saw this word was how kids like to imitate their heroes—some legendary, some not so much! May be a stretch, but oh well...

I drew the original to this back in September. I redrew it larger today during a short break, and painted it this evening.

I did the lines with a dip pen as an experiment to see how I'd like it, and the line quality I would get. It was fun to use, and the only major problem was the slit in the nib getting clogged with paper fibers. I am sure that goes away with practice.

Prismacolor has some fine point pens out that I plan to pick up tomorrow and try. And speaking of Prismacolor, they are having a contest if anyone is interested. I plan and hope to enter myself.

nice one Tom! Yes I think we have all done something similar at some point!
Your blog header (which I love by the way) could work well for this week too :)

Great concept! We have many moments like this in our house using brooms, golf clubs, and even spatulas! We finally bought my 2 year old a pillow guitar, but he still uses a broom occasionally. :)

Nice work!
