I recently completed this drawing. It took me approximately 12 to 15 1-hour (on average) sessions over the course of a week and a half, using a pencil and a kneaded eraser. I drew it on an 18"x24" artist sketch pad (approximately 4x times the size of a regular sheet of paper).
[b]EDIT:[/b] I took the image to a print shop where they had a very large scanner and I scanned it in to the computer. The scanner they had was designed for architectural drawings and such, so its still not quite to the quality that I was hoping for, but I think the image there now is much better than the photo I had up previously! Thanks again for all of the wonderful positive feedback!! You guys are AWESOME!!

[spoiler]Unfortunately, its too big to scan on a traditional scanner so I had to snap a photo of it instead. And that didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. But you get the idea. Oh, and it was done all in pencil.
Thoughts?[/spoiler]
[b]EDIT:[/b] WOW!!! Thank you all so much for all of the positive feedback!! I really, truly appreciate each and every one of you!! Truth be told, I was very nervous about doing this drawing because its like the first thing I've done in a couple of years. So reading all of your positive comments has been very uplifting and is really making me want to continue on with more drawings. So thanks again!!

i really needed to prove to myself that it wasn't print. so to anyone else that tries to hate, or needs to be proven it's not, here's the original concept. and yes, that's -blam!-ing awesome.
