A chalk drawing of Pichu playing with letter blocks in her playroom, spelling her name out with them. Behind her is a Pokeball inflatable and there's varying artwork on the wall.

This was photographed through an EOS Rebel T3i with a Canon FD 35-70mm f4 zoom lens mounted to it, as since this was drawn on a massive sheet of cardboard (this is the biggest chalk drawing I've done in years), the Lumix GF2 with its prime lens wasn't going to work like it does with smaller works.

I also posted this to Pixelfed, Mastodon, and Friendica.

I’ve also taken a bit of a liking to how chalk in particular looks on cardboard as well.
