This is a line illustration I did to illustrate one of my son’s limericks he wrote when he was younger and being home-schooled. It was quite funny and I decided to illustrate the theme of it just for kicks. This is what came out.

Old Man Illustration
I think I was looking through some Pen and Ink drawing books I have, and decided to try my hand at a pen and ink sketch of a guy in one of the books. This was probably 20 to 25 years ago. It probably took me about 2-3 minutes to sketch. That’s the whole idea… quick, sketchy, loose, free. Just do it. Then know when to stop. I think the original was sepia ink on white “trash” paper.
