"House and Home", my Largest Drawing Yet

My largest drawing to date, "House and Home", is a giant 40 x 60" drawing that took a total of nine months to complete. This drawing is absolutely brimming with animals, objects, and furniture, many of which are inspired by real life!

While I always have a general idea of where I would like a drawing to go, I often dive right in with details! For this drawing, I knew it would be separated into rough thirds, with three different rooms. However each day felt like a whole new drawing as I drew the next tiny detail.

It's very important that I love the process behind my drawings. So many hours are dedicated to each piece, that patience is very important. Here's a photo of my studio assistant, Mindy, and me at the drafting table on month eight of drawing.

Finishing a drawing this size is exciting, but also a little bit sad! I just wanted to keep drawing it!
"House and Home" remains my largest drawing to date, but I'd love to create an even larger piece one day.
