Day 15 (Family Picture)

Wasn't in the right mood today to draw a picture from my own family so I did this.
Tried a new medium. The Painter brush was 'Tapered Camel' from the Pen Brushes.
Looks quite good and very realistic and has quite a nice texture but my hand is now dead as you have to press very hard to get bold colours.
Anyway here's the picture:
The colour palette and style is based on a Nazi propaganda poster of a family I was thinking about drawing. 
I kept the slogan "Ein Volk hilft sich selbst!" (yes that is an s!) as it is quite a strong and universal message and certainly not Nazi specific. 
I am not a Nazi :).
Grant looks a bit too much like a bald Captain Black but overall I'm happy I thinkBYE

P.S. Whoooooooaa we're halfway theeere...
