Mummified Fetus of Cow

-Materials:

Schmincke - Aqua drop ( I bought some colors, and is really a good watercolor type of ink, but in my first experience I must say that it works better with putting water first and then the color than the opposite, because if you don’t put water first then it leaves the pigment like a ink would do).

Note: So I finished one of my studies of the Fragonard museum, it’s a really interesting museum to visit and practice in anatomy draw.

Materials:

Ecoline

Fountain pen

Guado watercolour (Isatis tinctoria)

Note: I remember simping for Akhenaton when I was seeing Egypt art for the first time in art history classes, it was kinda funny… now I simp for Michelangelo.
