Description
The actual title (which wouldn't fit in dA's form) is "The Real Reason Your Mother Told You That You Shouldn't Draw On The Walls"My first drawing from life in a while. I have a few process animations that I did about halfway through the painting: it shows how I started and how different this looked... it went through many many stages.
Eyes Animation - At 50% Resolution, Layer 59 out of 81 Layers Total
Whole Drawing Animation - Also layer 59 out of 81.
I can do another total process animation if people really want, but I might break my computer, I don't think Imageready can handle 678 megs.
Thanks to =Helen-Baq for the inspiration to do cross-hatching, which I haven't done since high school, and to =memod for his encouragement and critiques throughout the process.
My hand hurts. 18 hours total, straight through. A very long, but productive day. Lots of coffee involved.
UPDATE - Thanks for all the constructive crit guys!!!! I can't tell you how much better this looks now, so thank you thank you thank you!
Also I've uploaded some detail shots for you to check out - Eye .. Turtle .. And .. Fishy !
(Eye & Turtle are 100% resolution, fishy is 75% of the original resolution)

Very cool! I kind of wish that stuff would come alive when I was at the stage I drew on the walls (I have done murals before, tho that was in high school, we are not talking age 3 here 
Course I bet that gryphon I wanted to paint would be pretty damn hungry.

aww I love the concept of this painting...it reminds me of a story my dad wrote for me when I was young, about simply drawing anything you wished for and it would come to life! Your technique is brilliant, beautiful skin tones and hair and the cross-hatching is very skilfully done. Your whole gallery is most pleasing to the eye, but this is definitely my favourite

Cheers, I'm glad it reminded you of your childhood, because it reminds me of mine as well!

And what a gorgeous coloring

Yes. The background is amazing. But I'm not so sure about the face. There seems to be something just... a bit... wrong. I'm not sure what, but there is. *Thinks*

Great work. I really like the turtle and the expression on the fish's face. (and the pencil and the facial expression and the way all of it was done.) I'm looking forward to seeing more in this style.
That room could get messy if those horses start moving around.

Thanks Richard. Yeah, the drawings coming alive might not be so fun.. especially if you have a tendancy to draw macabre things... I always had a fascination when I was a kid of the books "Harold and the Purple Crayon".. and so when I was 3, I drew all over the walls of my childhood house, mostly scribbles, and my mom only painted over it when we moved out of the house. It was kind of funny.

"Harold and the Purple Crayon". I absolutely love that book still to this day. Which reminds me that I have to get a copy for my granddaughters.
A friend of my brother's drew on the walls when he was little and his parents left it there for years and years. It may still be there. He's now a illustrator for children's books and his scribbles on the wall would probably add value to the house for the right people.

Hehe, probably would be worth something. I love that book still too, I have the entire collection just for kicks.

I can't really give any critique. But I love the turtle.
Generally, love this. <3

I saw that, and it would be so awesome but I'm not happy w/the way I look lately, ever since I had the baby I can't seem to lose the weight >.<
Are you charging or just doing it for practice?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm not charging for it. It's a special project. I'm going to reveal more about it after the release of my second drawing in this series
