Description Well here it is at long last. This is now professionally scanned, and much better. There is a head and shoulders of a man hidden in the picture which will give you hours of frustration looking for it.

It seems to have taken forever. In all 135 hours. It is 420mm x 300mm in size.

I am already preparing my next one or two. They will be smaller and quicker to do.

Hope you like it.

Wow. Seriously, wow. Aside from how densely packed those dots are and how long it must have taken to lay them, I am amazed by *how* three-dimensional this looks, particularly the cluster in the foreground in relation to the one behind it - and that one in relation to the building and tree behind. (I was half-convinced, when looking at this thumbnail, that it was a photograph I was looking at). Beautiful work, sir.

I can understand about this drawing taking 135 hours in pen, I presume....you didn't mention
the medium. I only do small drawings in ballpoint pen (4x6) which takes around 3 hours to complete.
I enjoy drawing in pen because of how detailed a work can be, as in your drawing here.
I am amazed by this drawing, what patience you much have! What size is this drawing? (in inches please). Thank you.
I'll need to fave this to admire your work and to find the head and shoulders of the man! xD
By the way, your gallery is enjoyable to browse, with your photos and drawings.

Exquisite ... leaves me speechless. Besides the patience and all the rest of it, how did you manage to scan the thing... it's humongous. Can't wait to see more of your work. You wouldn't happen to have any of a wishing well would you? More power to you and your dots!

135 hours? Wow thats a really long time! I think I wouldn't have that much patience.
The result is awesome! I first thought it's a photo edited with some kind of filter.
I'm impressed by the ralism and the details in this piece! Really good!

I love ink drawings and this is simply gorgeous... like a Maxwell Parrish ink drawing, which I vastly prefer to his paintings.

I saw this, and I was immediately like: "Oh no. Not possible. How could you manage to do something like that?"

Then I looked in the description and saw it took 135 hours, and I thought, "well, yeah, okay maybe then."

But I never understand how people can spend so long on one thing like that, no matter how awe-inspriringly impressive the end result will be. You have my utmost respect for actually doing so. This is so amazing it makes my brain want to implode.

Also, I cannot, for the life of me, find the hidden man.
