Nice... how many pencils have you got through doing that? I simply couldn't keep focus over the whole thing if I tried anything even a fraction of that size. I struggle to manage larger than A4 size.

But I'd be killed by my mother if I tried decorating my wallpaper with any artwork. Anyway, although I'm improving, I'm nowhere near confident enough that I could do such a thing. (And even if I could, my bedroom wall is only about 3m long.)
I do have a friend who does have more lenient parents though. She has walls covered with artwork of wolves and such.

I didn't like art lessons at school... they never seemed to teach me HOW I should draw, or paint or sculpt. It was just: "Sit and draw this", "Copy this" or "Paint this".
I never really saw improvement - all my other lessons, I could see I was going somewhere, but for art, it was a rare luxury to see an advance.
After art lessons were no longer compulsory at the end of Year 9, I gave it up, and it was only after I got into a silly "bet" a year and a half back with a friend who was starting to draw himself that I actually chose to draw of my own accord again. After that, I developed a bit, did a dozen drawings or so, then as I said before, put it on hold.

I suppose my years of painting wargames models helped develop some understanding of things. I did a year or so back sculpt entire models about an inch high from putty - not perfect, but quite good for early attempts - I think.

he

I used differend pencils with different strenghts (from B to HB) Its unbelievable what a single pencil could draw until its end, so i used 4 until now. but its still unfinished and needs a lot of work . When its finished the whole thing gets a special varnish so that the pencil could not be blurred or washed away..

Lots of work on the wings of the dragon and lots of work for the castle, walls and bridge, characters, horses, shading etc.. Maybe another 4 month until im contently with it, maybe longer, dont know..
and, my parents are amazed, not angry or so. thats the first design that size i made..
And, thats not a wallpaper, its simply white painted wall, then sanded and varnished with a clamping coat (dont know the right word, special varnish for pencil, coal drawings on painted walls, he, very special)
some of my friends said that im mad. 8mÂ² pencil drawing, but who cares. i started in may this year with some lines and a huge A2 print. after finishing the predesign on paper i scanned it and printed it on foil. then i used a overhead projector and drawn the first lines etc
mh, estimated 200 hours for this

Indeed, who cares? It's awesome.

Projects like that are great for stress relief.
