Rating: G for Good at Drawing
Log:
He made a little post on the network asking for volunteers, and now, over the course of August, those volunteers might finally get the chance to fulfill their end of the bargain. Some of the drawings might happen outdoors, or in hotel rooms, or rooftops, or anywhere the inspiration strikes him. These sketches may not result in masterpieces, or even finished works, but they certainly will result in pen and ink being put to paper.

[Leonardo steps back, leaving his sketchbook open on a nearby table. Jean's hair does, in fact, look very good from this angle, but so does the rest of him. The light caught on his cheekbones quite nicely, and the lines of his body seem sharper as well. Leonardo's line work is, as always, thin and precise, almost delicate.]

[Jean studies the drawing seriously, obviously trying to learn something. He's definitely impressed. Also:]

I don't think I've ever seen myself drawn before. It's different from photos.

[neverfinishanyth]

It is, yes. Photos are more... hm, what is the word... they take what the eye sees and compresses it into something flat.

[angewiesen]

Yeah. It's just what you see. This has... I don't know, personality? It's still totally realistic and accurate, but it captures something different.

[neverfinishanyth]

It leaves a little bit of the artist inside it.

[angewiesen]

Yeah, that's it. It's cool. I don't really know what mine looks like yet.
