Pen Drawing in German (Week 8) – Fantastische Welten

As a fan of dystopias and sci-fi stories, I looked forward to the futuristic projects in the Kuli Kunst book I’m using in this project. Starting on the second day of the week, I was called to use different surfaces to recreate special textures. It brought me back to my childhood when I would put […]
