I chose the story by Shel Silverstein. I used watercolor, and watercolor pencil to illustrate the story. Then I added texture digitally. I used ink for outlines. I wanted the main character to be about 7 years old. He is mixed race, his mother is African American, and his father is Caucasian. It tells his story of his father give him one dollar and coming home with five pennies because five is more than one in his logic. His father is speechless and ends up fainting from shock. And he thinks its because he is extremely proud of him.
