Old English

Illustration by Tom Cole.

When a friend posted a tweet asking

Can anyone help with old English pronunciations for a recording?

I thought I’d reply with a sketch …

I was quite pleased with the looseness of the sketch. It’s something that’s hard to recreate in ink. I decided to add some colour later.

I added some more depth to the colour. Usually I’d clean up the sketch, but this time left the original sketch unchanged.
