Nulla Dies Sine Linea



No, this is not one of my fellow AOA refuseés after getting The Call. It is a drawing from this week's life drawing session.

Nulla Dies Sine Linea is the motto of the Art Students League. It translates roughly as "No Day Without a Line" but it means "You should be drawing every day you schlmiel! Get out that sketch pad!"

This is Latin, so no diacritic marks needed. Still, what great advice, for both drawing and writing!

Thanks Lali, I actually meant that I don't know how to get an accent over the second (or rather, third)'e' in refusee so that it reads as refusee, rhymes with elysee - not refusee, rhymes with refugee!
