I have been working…

…on this drawing for the past 46 days. The paper size is 18 inches by 24 inches and the actual drawing is about 16.5 inches square. I am using Cretacolor Nero pencils on Canson mixed media paper. I am drawing from a photograph. There is no way a bouquet of flowers lasts 46 days. This is quite an intense drawing project. I never imagined the time involved. I am able to invest about 1-2 hours of time into it per day before I lose focus and attention. Attending to the details is serious work! This drawing is the first in a series of drawings I plan to make into the future, just a bit larger.

Take a look at my progress below.
