This is no doodle – it’s a huge work of art created with a humble pen by an artist who definitely isn’t quick on the draw. Joe Fenton started work on this image back in 2010. It is 8ft across & 5ft high fine artwork that took 10 months of working 10 hours per day to produce (and he did it all with a pen). In these photos I am only working in graphite. Later I will go in with ink and acrylic.
The Brit, who lives in Brooklyn, New York, drew this intricate and complicated drawing, aptly titled ‘Solitude’, with a 0.5 mechanical pen on a five metre tall and 2.5 metre wide piece of paper.
He created his artwork by drawing the characters and figures of his imagination on a small scale and then combined it all together on a giant piece of paper by tracing them all. But due to his hyper-detailed style the epic piece saw him having to spend long hours with pen in hand.
Mr Fenton said: ‘The idea to do a large scale drawing had been circulating around my head for a while. ‘It took courage to start it as I had never done anything that size before. As you can imagine, you have to invest a lot of your time to complete something like this.
‘I just had to believe in my process and have faith that it would work out!’
Wow! incredible work! this is really amazing
