The Postal Carriers across America have been making sure we receive are Medical Supplies, Packages, Important Letters and Special Greetings from Friends & Family. We thought Our Postal Carrier deserved an overdue Thank You for her support during these difficult times. So, We decided to make a Special Thank You Card. First, a rough sketch to get a concept for the cover of the card. A number 2B pencil, sharpener, pink and kneaded eraser are the necessary tools. After a great deal of erasing a final sketch was completed. Don’t be afraid to use your eraser. I had one Art Instructor that forbid the use of erasers. Fortunately, all my others encouraged using many types of erasers. We can’t always get it perfect the first time.
Inked over in pen and watercolors to finish. Dominic a T-Rex tips the Mail truck a little when he gives it a kiss with a lick. Mattie the Mailosaurus with Darius the Prehistoric Dragonfly Flag are ready to accept the mail from Cristine. A Special Message inside. A Krylon UV – Resistant Acrylic Coating provides nice protection. Consider a Special Thank You for Your Postal Carrier, UPS, FedEx and other Delivery Drivers Especially during these difficult times.
Thank You to All the Delivery People Helping Us Get Through these Trying Days!
