Many people ask me how long one of these drawings take. It's about 15 hours i'd say. People also often ask me how do I find the patience in doing the kind of artwork that I do. When it comes to drawing cartoons, there is very little right and wrong. The drawings just keep on coming out of the pencil without a stop and the ideas just keep on flowing. Before I know it I have a whole drawing done. Patience is needed when illustrating something exact. I tried hand painting a german shepherd one time, the eyes were in the wrong spot and the colours were wrong...I lost patience in making it look like a real dog! That takes patience.
