Description This was an experiment I did today in my art class...

I wanted to draw a picture with an insane amount of detail crammed into the smallest possible area. Thus, I have created this, which is in fact much MUCH smaller than it may appear. In actuality, this piece is a mere 1.375 inches across. It was the product of about twenty minutes of inking with the finest pin nib our school had to offer, no preliminary drawing involved.

This was inspired by a book I read as a child. The main character's mom is an artist who spends each year working on one artwork. She paints intricate scenes, detailed to the point where one can look inside the windows of the buildings in her cityscapes and discern individual characters (I envisioned a page out of "Where's Waldo?"), and sells them upon completion for about twenty thousand dollars. I've just always wanted to try something like that. This isn't even close to that level, but it was fun!

Now... back to my studies... I had just enough time set aside to upload this.

Thanks, but those lines were actually placed very carefully. It's just the tiny scale I drew them on which made even the smallest line seem broad and loose. On a drawing as wide as your thumb, lines just become really hard to control.

In general, though, I do have very loose lines on purpose, like in my other deviations.

Again, thanks for the comment!

That is really impressiv, to put so much in so little space!

I'm feeling really sorry for the little knight? Didn't he know that dragons like fire? Poor man!

Anyway...the best part (for me) is the dragonhead...it looks mean and scray...great achievment for such a small drawing.
Me likes it!
