Samples of Gift Caricature of a family in Munich Germany

I was contacted by the mother of the Father in this Caricature Illustration. I like the fact that she wanted traditional media and I am really enjoying the pen & Ink and water color as my traditional medium of choice. Mark Fredrickson once told me at the 2009 ISCA Caricature Convention ( which is coming up real soon here in my home town, more to follow), and that was that I should try to leave my line work in my work as much as possible because that was my strong point. I am trying to find a fine medium between the liniar work and more tones and values. due to the fact that it is a gift for Christmas everyone will have to wait to see the full final here are close ups that I liked.
