What I find interesting is the likeness to photo booth pictures. I think this is refreshing.

I would hate drawing too after 51 hours of work, even spread out over time!

It's really great!! You should be very proud

Haha! I usually feel that way after I've worked on something for a really long time but I usually pick up my pencils again anyway I hope you continue to draw things as amazing as this... you've got the talent, it would be a shame to not use it

Once again, amazing work... your efforts have really paid off. I hope the girl in the picture likes it

I know what you mean. If you think about it, it probably didn't take 51 weeks to draw, if you only counted the time you spent on drawing.
I am the same way, but a little worse. I have been drawing something for a long time, and the time I actually spent on the drawing was a half hour every month, and I gave up on it. I can have ideas, but everytime I do, I think it would be too much work, and give up without a try. I gave up a lot of times on art, and hate not using my ability that took me all my life to improve to photo quality work. Even if I hate to draw anymore, I hate to give up more, even if I would feel a lot better. I am happy to teach others, but not creating something imaginary with my talent, don't seem like someone that worked so hard to get there. It just feels something is a miss. I dreaded drawing every part of "Swamp, Move the Moon" but forced myself to get it done. I sat in front of the picture just looking at it and knowing what I had to do, and it will not be done untill I was finished. I spend more time looking at it and not wanting to do anything, but I had something that needed to be finished. If I count the hours I spent on drawing, it would have been 12 hours, and I took 3 months to make myself do each thing. That was my best flow time, and went a lot quicker than any other picture I have done recently. I think what I hate the most is the details. They fall in place and look great, but I have to imagine them, and I don't want to do anything. I guess if I draw what I see I can still mindlessly draw a better picture than any photo I could take. I have been thinking of doing that, because I might like it better, than trying to imagine what is not there so it will look like a photo when I am done, using details that can not be imagined without a drawing to base them on. It's a lot of work and imagination, and makes my head hurt with all of the things that will not be without something else. A lot of refining, and changing, and redefining. Very painfull proceedure.

Thank you.
