The squirrels were in the middle of their daily rummage when they came across a worn pair of dungarees.
“What’s this doing in the dumpster?” asked the first squirrel.
“It looks perfectly functional to me,“ said the second. "It just needs a little love!”
“How wasteful!” said the third, examining an old tube sock.

The timeline for this piece taking place would be pretty shortly after Kora left Kakariko village for the first time. After she left, she put on a Hylian dress she was gifted by an ex-girlfriend to not let people think she was a Sheikah.

Drawing the planter marks
I taped together some 2mm pencil leads. They are 4B so I don’t have to press hard to make the lines, and they have a soft quality to them as the graphite catches on the tooth of the paper’s surface. The effect reminds me of warm, friable soil that’s ready to be planted.
Drawing the lines takes planning, If you have ever planted a field, this part would be familiar to you. You must plan your headlands, turnarounds and the direction of the rows. You must also plant as straight as you can, and space each pass so the row spacings are as equal as possible.
The lines I’m drawing are records of the movement of my hand pulling the pencil leads. You can look at them and get a sense of the action involved in drawing them. I think they look a bit like zen garden raking patterns.

Roads are placed. Obviously, this isn’t scaled to life; the houses would be smaller. I think that scale isn’t important here and besides, drawing larger houses saves my poor eyes =)

A peek at building some little bitty houses on paper. The yards are roughly 4 to 2 inches in width and height. Sometimes, I use a magnifier that’s built into my lamp. The drawing is on 24X18 inch paper. Steady as she goes.

How amazing is Google street view? I traveled through Europe on Sunday afternoon, then I punched in Newfoundland and found this shed by the sea
