Thanks so much! I'm now in the process of working on another one of these big complex drawings with a full background, complete with haze/smoke. It is taking forever!!!

Thanks so much!!! ...and thanks for the fav!
I'm working on another big piece similar to this, with a lot of detail, dark tones, and a textured background. I've fallen in love with this kind of drawing.

No problem 
Awesome, are you going to put it on deviantArt too? Can't wait to see it if you do

Yes, but I just need to get a better camera. I've been using my iPhone for larger drawings and I'm a terrible photographer.
I may post an iPhone image and then replace it later.

The drawing that changed my world forever, it was and still is the most inspiring drawing i've ever seen. The detail, the time and the dedication are all present in this piece and it's jaw dropping.
Since that day I have pushed myself harder, slept less and lost weight...I will not rest until I produce something half as good as this :-D

Awww, thanks again, Tasha. You've always been so encouraging and positive about this drawing. I really do appreciate it!
I'm really glad that this drawing has inspired other artists to try new things and take a leap into unknown territory. It's really the only way to grow as an artist.
My own hand and eye skills have completely skyrocketed since working on this drawing. I am so glad that I decided to just go for it instead of letting my fear stop me.
I sometimes look at this drawing and wish I knew how it was drawn, until I remember that I drew it.

Excellent drawing, love the details!
Keep up the good work

Thanks so much!!! This is truly encouraging coming from you. I really appreciate it. In fact, my next drawing will be similarly challenging, if not more. You inspire me to want to work harder to improve.

All kinds of incredible, photo-realistic with a distinct personality that only a hand-drawn piece of art can possess...love the definition and textures of Batman's armour and especially his cowl, and the use of the willow charcoal for the smoke! Fantastic.

Wow, thanks so much for the crit! I put a lot of myself into this piece and I'm so glad that you appreciate and notice all of my efforts.

I have read all your comments, and think you need to take a deep breath

Thanks so much for your great comment! When I first thought about drawing this image, I knew it was kind of a crazy idea, but I decided to just go for it. So glad I did, and so glad that you like it!

Well it is a superb piece, I have a couple of 'epic' drawings on the go (6 months and counting!) myself, and know what it means to drag yourself back to them, never thinking that you will finish them, never thinking that the effort is worth it - your drawing has inspired me to go back and stick a few more hours (days/months!) back into them again - so thank you

I'm so glad that I can inspire you in any way. After posting this in my gallery, I've learned to appreciate it again. I'm looking forward to starting another epic piece this weekend, though I doubt I'll be able to top this one any time soon.
I hope you enjoy working on your drawings again. That's really what's most important.

fantastic work J!!!

Thanks so much!!! I just finished touching it up. I can't seem to get good shot of it, but you get the idea. I guess I can draw a bit, but I'm a terrible photographer.

hey it looks good, I like the photo, it's got that smokey feel to it, brilliant work!!

Thanks! I drew this about a month ago, and finally worked up the nerve to add some charcoal powder over the pencil on the building. I couldn't decide whether to leave it light and crisp or a little darker and smokey.
