That looks really cool. I picked ink as the word this week because I’m trying to get started in traditional illustration with ink as a watercolor mix. I think that medium is sometimes called ink wash.

I love ink drawings like that! They are so striking, and the skill to not mess up on the whole page is so impressive. I hope you enjoy the course!

It’s not low hanging fruit, it’s pretty common in English to call tattoos ink as a kind of slang or shortening. I don’t think I’ll ever get a tattoo but it’s kind of cool to have something permanently part of you.
Hullo again,
This week’s word is going to be … be …be…
