Creative Tuesdays - Three

The challenge for Creative Tuesdays this week is 3/Three, where we had to show three of something.  Mr T suggested that this may start us thinking about Christmas but for me this is a little too soon.

After a lot of pondering, I decided  to try and illustrate an old English nursery rhyme.  Rub-a-dub-dub, three men in a tub, and who do you think they be? The butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker. Turn them out, knaves all three.

I decided to do this one using an old fashioned dip pen and ink (which I love using) and finished with coloured pencils, which I am out of my comfort zone with.

Check out what everyone else's have done on  Tuesday over on the Creative Tuesday's blog.
