I haven’t done an “Illustration Friday” topic in a long while! I decided I wanted to do one this week. I also enjoyed the rough free hand form drawing I was able to do for this project, my typical style is so clean and crisp that this was nice change.
The topic was “Faded”

Art Student Hand-Illuminates, Binds a Copy of Tolkien’s Silmarillion
German art student Benjamin Harff decided for his exam at the Academy of Arts to do something only slightly ambitious — to hand-illuminate and bind a copy of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Silmarillion. It took him six months of work. In very 21st century elvish-monk style, he hand-illuminated the text which had been printed on his home Canon inkjet printer. He worked with a binder to assemble the resulting book. (Source)
