The moment the pen hit the paper this became an exercise in finding as many ways to shade and texture as possible. Micron 03. A5.
That’s an impressive range of different textures from mark-making. Looks great. What does the text at the bottom translate as?
It is supposed to say something like “It isn’t safe to interact with fairy rings be they in the grass or in the sea” in Latin. But when you feed it back through the same translator in reverse it tells you that it is safe. I know just enough Latin to know that Google messed up the translation but not enough to fix it. And since this was about fairies I decided that they are probably playing a trick and decided to go with the flawed translation.
After this I think everyone should try drawing a coral reef. It’s an exercise in textures. Maybe one day I’ll try it in color for a whole different lesson.
