Description
"My hand trembled as I reached out towards Skellig's wings. I touched them with my fingertips. I rested my palms on them. I felt the feathers, and beneath them the bones and sinews and muscles that supported them. I felt the crackle of Skellig's breathing.
I tiptoed to the shutters and stared out through the narrow chinks.
'What are you doing?' Mina whispered.
'Making sure the world's still really there.' I said."
- Skellig, David Almond

I've used the cover of this book as a reference before but the other day, I just felt like drawing - for fun. So, I grabbed my favourite childhood story, drew this then re-read the whole thing - 'twas a good day.

It's just such a beautiful book. I don't know how many times I've read anymore; for a while I carried it around in my school bag and read it whenever I got bored.

Done in four colouring pencils on A4
I'm... really happy with one
