Description It's amazing what you can do with a Sharpie marker and about a hundred hours of dotting excitement. Yes. It is pointillism. No lines whatsoever.

24x18 inches
40+ hours (I fell asleep once)

I really love this picture. It's a little bit emotional, what with the fine detail you given to your clothing and hair. I really did a picture in pointillism (it's not on Deviant, though) and I appreciate how long it takes to finish these things.

Awesome! But i would never have the patience to do that... I would go insane and then scribble all over my piece...

Thank you. I'm really happy you like it.

Fantastic job! You really captured a wonderful range of value, which is extremely hard to get with pointillism. It must've taken you an incredible amount of time...but well worth it

Yeah, about 90 hours total. I even fell asleep once working on it. Thank you!

It won me my most proud achievement. A "student's choice award" at a college art show. I find it much more important when all of the contributing artists at an art show collectively love your work the most out of all... I'm very proud of this.

Wow--congrats! You should be proud and it sounds like everyone at the art show knew a good piece when they saw one.

About a hundred is right! I don't know how you found the patience to do this, I think I would have had a mental breakdown. Especially with the hair... I think I feel an anxiety attack coming on just thinking about it.
Awesome work, the shading's phenomenal. I don't think this could have been done any better with pencils.

Patience always came easy to me when I really had something to say with a picture. Thank you so much for the appreciation. I love your gallery, by the way. Your attention to detail is magnificent. The world needs more artists like you! I'll be looking forward to your future work.

Well in that case, you have it much easier than I do. If I could manage a detailed drawing in an hour, I'd be a happy camper. Then again, like you said, if the picture really means something, I'll take my time... still a pain though.
And thank you, your wonderful comment really means a lot, I'll try not to disappoint
