Cindy, I am glad that you can appreciate these drawings, still, I am but a student striving for perfection. Please do not misunderstand, I consider perfection afar off but i believe it is attainable if my abcs' are in place.
When I first stared with the model drawings, believe you me, it was a struggle even painful at times. It took me quite a while to settle on the fact that my eyes do play tricks. My biggest problem was to learn to measure. For me, it was like learning how to walk again when you already think you know how.
Regarding your question: First, thank you for asking. Be glad to tell you but if I just answer with a number then many would not understand. I try my best to give each answer some clarity. If one is looking for a school and I say that the school is around the corner that would be true. If I say that when one turns the corner, the school will be or is two miles down the road than that is what one is to truly expect.
My first drawings in pencil took around 30 hrs and I did not even finish. There was much to learn/unlearn and to understand.
Now, I'm able to produce a drawing, like the ones you see here, within 25hrs. Someone would say that is a lot of hours to work on a drawing. My question would be, how much time does one take and how much would one charge for a drawing that took a hour or two to draw or paint?
Thank you again Cindy, I quite enjoy your work as well and I consider your work to be terrific!
