Description
Today we have a jellyfish, because why not!
They've always fascinated me since I was a kid, but I was deathly afraid of them for the longest time too. Now I just find them gorgeous 
Did you know that jellyfish sleep? And that, like us, they get tired if they're deprived of sleep? A study was published last year about this, it's pretty interesting considering jellyfish have no brains!

Interesting technique!
I really like this drawing... the black colour of paper gives an illusion of depth of the ocean.

Thank you! I was very happy when I saw that using gel ink was also allowed, originally I was going with black ink on white paper, but for a jellyfish this worked so much better!

Thank you!
Yeah, I didn't either until I read the study. It's really weird since scientists usually relate the need to sleep to brain function, so if jellyfish have no brains but still sleep, and they're also some of the oldest animals around that barely changed throughout the times, it seems to indicate sleep is something pretty ancient and not necessarily related to brain activity.
