One of those drawings where the dialogue was the drawing saying nope nope nope nope until I substituted the hawk for what I initially wanted to go in that space.

The original idea came from a drive from Maryland to Kentucky to see my sister over Thanksgiving & a mix of music I've made for myself. I have a few other ideas brooding/incubating...stay tuned.

I'm gonna guess it took about 3-4 days working 5-12 hours...and...a confession...I didn't stipple the whole thing...there's another technique- scumbling that I sometimes use- tiny little scribbles to create texture...density determines shapes...
Beautiful!
Congrats!!!
