Made this drawing of me and my boyfriend as medieval lovers for an assignment. I haven’t drawn in a while and I’m kinda proud of how it turned out so I thought I’d share it here.
First time trying illumination and I’m really happy with how it turned out! A few smudges here and there but overall not bad!
Obsessed forever with the “Two Monks Invent...” series on The Toast by Daniel Mallory Ortberg. It’s one of my internet happy places and I hope it never goes away.
