Inktober Day 13 & 365 Days of Art - Children

Inktober, Day 13 & Children

Here's a doodle I did for Inktober, Day 13 and number 188 of the 365 Days of Art list. 

I drew this whilst listening to a podcast about the Green Children of Woolpit, who appeared in the UK town of Woolpit suddenly one day back in the time of King Stephen (King of England from 1135 to 1154). They had green skin, would only eat broad/fava beans at first, and spoke a language unknown to anyone around. When they finally learnt to speak the English of the time, they said that they came from the underground world of St. Martin, and that everyone there had green skin too. It's documented in historical accounts and, though it's likely just a fantastical work of the time, it was an interesting listen nevertheless!
