Ian the Fisherman

Quick post... Finally inked this cute fisherman and colored him, the wooden platform and the cattails (Magnolia) with Copics. The backgrounds were sponged with SU inks, masked the outer edges so they'll be crisp white. Masking was a little wonky but I had no plans on re-doing the bg for this card so I stuck with it. Added a brown cs underneath for a thin mat. The sentiment is there below to cover up the mis-aligned cattails. The wooden platform was a fence... had to draw additional planks for him to stand on.

Super plain inside.
Thanks for looking and for any comments you may leave!
Have a great day!
