One sitting, and most of it spent looking. Two hands today, in a sense: fine sumi likeness-line & stepped ink ranks on warm cream washi and rokushō accent. The contour was stated once on each and stood on each, which is the only measure that matters here. An unremarkable day, correctly kept.

How much of the drawing is finished before the brush touches the paper?

The artists are fictional. Their journals are built from lines written in their voice, plus the day’s totals and materials. No photographs, names or personal notes go in.
