lines: Ink Blots

Time Period: Vague future
Notes: Just a quick and dirty shortfic about Victor's drawing skills. It's got to be really hard to draw in ink when you don't make pencil sketches first. Victor's probably gotten very good at hiding mistakes.

“I’ve always admired how well you draw with a pen.”
Victor looked up to see Alice leaning over him. “It’s really nothing special,” he said modestly. “Your pencil drawings are some of the best I’ve ever seen.”
“Yes, but there’s a reason I draw in pencil,” Alice replied. “It’s so I can erase if I should make a mistake. And my lines are never as clean and crisp as yours because of it. How do you manage to draw as well as you do when you go straight from imagining to ink?”
“Lots of practice,” Victor said, dipping his quill into the inkwell again and continuing with his sketch. “And knowing how to disguise my mistakes.”
“You make mistakes?”
“Let me put it this way – that cloud in the corner didn’t start as a cloud.”
