#brushpen

[ID: My hand holding a graph paper sketchbook with a brushpen drawing of rocks at low tide, above the actual rocks themselves. They're covered in thready chartreuse algae, which I suggest in black ink with scribbly textures and hatching. I've also drawn the sea water bubbling and rippling around the rocks, and suggested bladderwrack seaweed dumpling the water as it clings to submerged rocks.]

[ID: Me holding up another page in my sketchbook at the same rocky Eastern Turtle Island beach. I drew it sitting between the boulders of the hurricane barrier, and the foreground focuses on their texture and bulk extending all the way to the pebbly waterline. I suggested the horizon with just a few lines for the bay and seawall. The real ones line up almost exactly behind the sketch.]

anyone else getting shades of Pygmalion/Galatea from victor? text is from ovids metamorphoses.
