DRAWING DAY 2011 - my kids art

The kids couldn't let me have all the fun today. Here are their beautiful creations...

WORLD DRAWING DAY ARTWORK

Well World Drawing Day is almost over and I have finished my creation. After 6 solid hours of doing a 900x600mm drawing with a 4mm and a 7mm pen my poor wrist is killing me, but it was well worth the effort.
 This drawing is one I have been wanting to work on for months and haven't found the time. It was inspired by the song 'Tree Hugger' (by Kimya Dawson and Antsy Pants -  from the Juno soundtrack).
