I think this proves I need a large scanner...
Look. I did it. Ha! You think I'm elated? No. I'm anksty! It took three days. Not two. Bah!
By the end of the first day I had pencilled it onto A2, as usual, and I was feeling quite happy with the progress I was making. Eight 'o clock, the next morning, I began inking but by nine that evening however, with just over three light bulbs completed, I had learnt keeping the shape and shading of each light bulb consistent took hours at a time, far too long to keep going with it growing so dark. Eager to finish, I returned to inking it at five the next morning. Drawing identical bulbs did demand a degree of patience and several times I thought I'd ruined it, making me consider wheather I'd tried to do something to ambitious. Was I wasting time? Should I stop and start on another idea? Some how, six and a half light bulbs later, it was done.
Ok, I moaned, but I am pleased with the final out come. Also, I don't want to sound too corny, but I kinda enjoyed the challenge.
