    I’m not saying you’re wrong, but there are a good few digital drawing applications that have paper backgrounds and very convincing crayon/marker/pen etc tools… I draw my d&d character sketches with Fresh Paint on a surface pro with the stylus and everyone thinks they’re colored pencil drawings

      Maybe, but I zoomed in and took a close look before I posted.

      Digital paper texture is just “noise” so tends to look a certain kind of way and I don’t see evidence of that here.

      The other thing is how the ink bleeds into the paper. When I zoom in, it looks to me like real ink bleeding into fibers.

      All that said, I could still be wrong, it’s actually really hard to tell (the crayon looks sus). But I still think it’s real paper.

      Unfortunately we’ll probably never actually know :(
