[ Well, Hugo's right about one thing: the Hollows are both incredibly beautiful and exceedingly dangerous, even in pictures drawn by memory. It reminds her of a dark sun, an eclipse of ethereal night. And for the inside to look as devastated as it does? She can't tell if it's meant to be a mirror of what exists outside of the Hollows, if it's meant to be a perfect mimicry but for its ruin. And if it is... Is there significance to it, like a prophecy? Something that was meant to be or something avoided?
In a week's time, Hugo will find two wrapped sketchpads: one that is smaller, meant for charcoal, and another that has thicker paper for watercolor. In each she's tried to replicate what he sees. The charcoal focuses more on the architecture, the broken pieces of buildings and even the line of the Hollows as they reflect on the sky. The paintings are to get the colors correct, to try and capture the way the light plays off of the eclipsed dark.
A note is with it: ]
Some preliminary work. You're right in that there is a distinct beauty to them, even if the sight you've drawn almost feels harrowing. I'd be curious to know more of what the buildings within mean.
If you have changes or critique, send them back, and I'll continue to work. ~MM
