+ | ==Explanation== | ||
+ | This is a drawing of flowers that [[Randall]] made. It seems the flowers are based on his imagination, rather than being a real species - see the original quote in the [[#Trivia|trivia]] section. | ||
− | + | The title text explains that Randall originally drew the flowers in pencil on normal paper. He did thus not paint them. Instead he used the invert feature of a photo-editing program to reverse it from black-on-white to white-on-black. After that he added color to the flowers. | |

− | + | ==Trivia== | |
+ | As noted in the title text, the original drawing for the comic was made in pencil, then inverted and colored. The image below is a re-inverted, desaturated version of the comic, which gives a good approximation of what the original drawing might have looked like. | ||
