My wife now expects (nay, demands) that all her cards be hand drawn. She prefers that they're hand drawn using traditional media but I reserve the right to let that depend on my mood at the time of drawing.
This is my 2013's mother's day card for my wife, showing her about to conquer some bad dream or other lurking in the metaphorical deep dark woods of our child's psyche. Although, to be fair, I have to deal with actual beasties :)

And finish off with the colours. All of them.
