As long as Daisy could remember, art had always been symbolic and stylized. There was no way anyone could easily draw from memory without observing or having the subject of their inspiration in front of them, so it shouldn't have been easy for Orion to draw what he just did without a present muse.
Furthermore, the painting in front of her was the most realistic painting she had ever seen.
Even in the human kingdom, where art was said to have been birthed, no artist had ever been able to draw as realistically as Orion had.
It was simply unheard of, but putting all these aside for now, this was clearly not the weirdest thing Daisy had seen today.
The weirdest thing Daisy had seen was the drawing in front of her because this was the first time Daisy had ever seen a nude drawing before.
Orion had drawn a realistic image of both Dahlia and Mia sitting naked on the bed and gazing in the direction of the artist with flushed faces.
"Does this mean you've seen these two ladies naked, for you to have made a drawing like this?"
"Not exactly."
"Then how exactly were you able to draw this?"
"It's exactly as I said. I can draw from memory; this means that I can recreate images from my mind."
"So, this means you can imagine and bring forth original concepts from your mind?"
"Precisely."
"What about the portrait you drew of the elf queen and elf princess, were you able to draw the portrait without them standing in front of you?"
"Yes," Orion replied and Daisy let out a small chuckle after hearing Orion's words.
A part of her still felt like she was in a dream, because Orion had just shown her that he could not only recall and recreate images from his mind, but he could also imagine and bring forth original concepts from his mind and put them into reality.
'Wouldn't this make him the greatest artist in the world right now?' Daisy thought to herself.
"Yes."
"Great, I would like you to draw me as well."
Orion's brows became furrowed as he asked. "You want me to draw a nude portrait of you?"
"Oh, no. I need you to draw a portrait of me wearing this exact same outfit, can you do that?"
"Yes."
"So when should I expect it, will it be ready before our next class?"
"Yes, it should." The art class was only held once a week, so it shouldn't be a problem for him to get it done before next week.
"Splendid," Daisy beamed and stood up from her seat. "We'll further discuss this later. For now, let us begin today's class," Daisy said and Orion nodded in response, but he hadn't expected Daisy to feel so relaxed about the nude portrait of Mia and Dahlia that he drew.
'Could it be because the drawing was censored?' Orion thought.
Although he had drawn a nude portrait of the two girls, he had tried his best to exclude their private parts in the drawing, but he still hadn't expected Daisy not to comment on it.
He wondered how Daisy would feel if he drew a nude portrait in addition to the one she asked him to draw for her.
'Let's try making two drawings for her,' Orion smirked mischievously as he listened attentively to what Daisy was teaching him.
In this world, art was still in its infant stage, and this meant that the techniques of artists and artisans were also rudimentary.
Realism was rare, and most artists typically drew from observation, requiring the subject or object of their inspiration to be right in front of them before they could begin to draw a portrait.
However, Orion was different. He didn't need to have anything in front of him before he could create a drawing, and this was why Daisy was surprised to see that he could actually do this.
It was also easy for her to see that the prince had an artistic talent, but Daisy wanted to see his portrait of her before deciding on what to do next.
