My drawing: 

Under the Sea

I wanted to draw something that evoked the wonder and excitement that Rackham’s drawings evoked in me. I immediately thought of the ocean and creatures like the octopus when I thought of a magical, mythical world. I tried to use dark lines with watercolors to imitate Rackham’s style. I did not have ink pens or water-color paper though, so this technique resulted in some bubbling of the paper.
