Disclaimer: You know the drill.
Nathanael stuck his tongue out as he tried to concentrate on what he was drawing.
It was a beautiful item, a pine cone with colour and glitter and on it in all the right ways and it would be easier for him to take a photo instead of drawing it.
Still, he drew.
A photograph would be more sensible. Pine cones were messy, complicated shapes on their own. Several people had already taken pictures with their phones. Nobody would judge him for doing the same. A simple press of a button and it would be captured, frozen in a moment in time.
Still he drew.
It didn't really make sense as such for him to draw them. They were decorated pine cones. They were right in front of him. It wasn't like he was needed to immortalise them.
Still he drew.
A photograph would have been much easier. Indeed, that's what the technology was there for. But, in his opinion, Marinette deserved better. A photo would have been accurate, but it didn't really capture the...essence of the decorated pine cone in front of him. He wanted more than a dull, dead picture. He wanted to make it something more, something worth remembering, something that captured the essence, the spirit, the soul of what Marinette had done.
And so he drew.
