Sketches of various shapes of standing stones seen throughout historical landmarks within the UK. Inspiration was taken from places such as the Standing Stones of Stenness, Mên-an-Tol, and the Druids temple. I also researched various languages to include.
Sketching various stone circle/shrine layouts inspired by real historical sites as mentioned in the previous image, a lot of research was done to ensure that the stones were arranged in a way that would reflect the ways in which they were historically.
