I love the little pink flower head in Minnie Mouse's hand - you do detail so well! I look at the big spaces out there and lack inspiration, you find it in everything, I am so in awe!!!
Oooh, what a big honking keyring!! It's been one of my aims to build up my own key chain. Nothing so massive as your drawing yet, but I'm up to 6, it's the most I've had yet! :-)
wicked!! that eiffel tower keyring, my wife has the same one and i drew it myself last week. I'm discovering keys are fun to draw, and this is like an explosion of great keys.
Such intricate and distinctive work. I love the way you make very ordinary things seem somehow alive, as if each item has a story it's itching to tell. Thanks for answering my question (last posting) - 20 hours is a big investment.
HI Andrea! I've just recently stumbled upon your site and what a delight! You have exceptional art and great humour, what a lovely combo. Wishing you much success and happiness! Aliaena
I'm always terribly impressed with your pen drawings. Can I ask a bit more about your process? Do you do any pencil underdrawing at all, or do you just start straight in with a pen?
This drawing was never meant to be quite so big. I was drawing with a damp plaster on my little finger (I didn't realise it was damp, it's not a new technique, or anything) and it smudged the whole page. So to cover the smudges I drew more and more and more keys.
TLC Illustration, I didn't use any pencil here. I do use pencil, to map out the composition, usually. But with a big drawing like this I will just dive straight in with ink. If you make a mistake, on a drawing like this, it doesn't matter too much. It can be hidden!
What can I say? More Moleskine madness.
The tiny one with the 'AJ' next to it is so misterious....
ReplyDeleteFabulous Andrea!
ReplyDeleteLOVE IT!
ReplyDeleteLove it! you did a great job :) I love the "Girl's keys" keyholder :))

ReplyDeleteAs always I'm amazed at the complexity of your drawings - all those tiny links and jumble of chains - how how how do you do it???
ReplyDeleteI never cease to be flabergasted at your detgails!!! I would go barmy trying to do even a quarter of this!!! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThat's wonderful!

ReplyDeleteAwesome work. You must be listening to music or talk radio while you work. This has got to take lots of time.

ReplyDeleteyour detailing is incredible! I love all the different bits on it!
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff!
ReplyDeleteA Fiat! An Eiffel tower! I just got lost in this fab drawing, Andrea! Just as I wonder what you will come up with next, you blow me away again.
ReplyDeleteAmazing!
ReplyDeleteI love to collect keys:)
I love it.... So great ilo...!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely not a set of "boy's keys." I'm not sure that it could even fit in my pocket. It would probably wear a hole in my pants.
ReplyDeleteI like it - enjoy it - wish I could draw like that.
Thanks for sharing.
Wow! Superb!
ReplyDeleteMesmerizing - I could stare into these intricacies for hours!

ReplyDeleteFor more than a minute I lost myself, too!! :):)
ReplyDeleteI love this one, I use to collect keys:)
ReplyDeleteA wonderful drawing with the perfect title!
ReplyDeleteYour "madness" is a delight for our eyes! What a fabulous drawing!
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome. I want it. Not the keys, but the sketch for my office. Very cool Andrea.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I can't begin to tell you how much this resonates with me on discussions I've had with Ruth about her key-ball-and-chain. Ha.

Mesmerizing! :)

Cheers, everyone, you make my day.
That is simply amazing!
