I am going to fast-forward just a little bit.  I have plenty more free-hand drawings to share but wanted to share this one.  It was completed just a short time ago and it was my first foray into the world of full-size drawings.

On this particular day, I just decided it was time to try something different…you know, shake things up a bit.  So I purchased a 20″ X 30″ ilustration board.  The interesting thing was that this project started off as a collaborative drawing.  I was teaching my son, who is an art major, about my technique and asked if he would like to give it a try.  The idea was that I would do one element and pass it on to him to add his input and so on.  Well, needless to say, I started and never gave it up, so I guess I kind of reneged on the project….but he said he did not mind. He was too fascinated watching it develop!

I still haven’t settled on a name for this one. People have asked me how I knew when it was finished.  I’m not sure I can really answer that question, but I definitely knew.  The technician in Kinko’s, that scanned it for me, loved the piece and said he felt like he was going to be sucked into the center! Perhaps I should’ve asked him what I should name it!  Hope you enjoy!
