I made this for the teapotter's challenge to make a western card. I have always loved this stamp. I colored him in all grey's using spectrum noir markers in cool greys and warm greys. I did use one of the essentials markers for his face and wrists. I really like how he came out even if he is all grey. I usually use a lot more color.
Thanks for looking!

Amazing how much depth of colour you got with your neutral colour palette! I love the added text in the background, too, and the way it's carried over onto the tags. I can imagine his Sunday-best outfit in that natty stripe, too .
