Sketching Hinterland Statues
 Painter | Description |
|---|---|
| 0 - 4 | It's a sketch of a sculpture, and that naturally doesn't have the same effect as sketching a live model. But passers-by think it's handsome. One of them even leaves you a gift. |
| 5 - 9 | It's a sketch of a sculpture, and that naturally doesn't have the same effect as sketching a live model. But passers-by recognise the quality of your line-work anyhow. One of them even leaves you a gift. |
| 10+ | It's only a drawing, not a fully developed painting. […] But even such a casual effort is visibly yours – your composition, your handling of line and mass and shadow. Passers-by admire without fully understanding, and one leaves you a gift. |
Sketching Hinterland Statues (Failure)
| Painter | Description |
|---|---|
| 0 - 4 | You try to capture the charismatic elegance of this statue, but the results are disappointing. Before you can amend the proportions, a passer-by laughs at your efforts. Well! |
| 5+ | You have a vision […] that emulates the line of the statue but brings its surroundings to imagined life. The results[…] are disappointing. Oh, the passers-by don't know any better. Some […] think your work is quite good. But it isn't what you meant to draw. |
