Leonardo Da Vinci Lost Drawing Discovered

What a rush. Leonardo's drawings are always brilliantly vivid and lifelike to me. I find his paintings much less interesting. It's also nice to know that his drawings sometimes look better in photographs, because they've been enhanced – the frequent state of affairs is fading.

What does "the frequent state of affairs is fading" mean - I tried to get your meaning including substituting different words in case you wrote while distracted (frquent/usual etc) and I just can't get what you meant.

You mean usually (for most works) they fade, but not when talking about drawings?

I think he meant "frequently the drawings are faded".

Not with this kind of ink, that is very interesting in fact.

I think he means that the actual drawings are mostly fading, but photos can be enhanced so they look better.

Yes, you're right. Crappy phrasing.
