As Istanbul is slowly swallowed by snow and my mind is likewise, having its own share of snowfall, I decided to try and get somewhere with my simitçi ink drawing. He is approximately 2ft x 3ft— I can't remember the exact dimensions of the paper, and I can't find my ruler. I have been working on and off on this drawing for several long months, and hope to finish it soon. The end is in sight, but still feels so very distant and obscured by its own snow.

It is incredibly detailed drawing. Amazing! I can see every single fabric of his sweater and newspaper. Wondering to see finished one....
This is outstanding! I can't imagine the time you have involved in this!
You sound discouraged but struggle on, this drawing is inspiring. Viewing it was a great way to start my day.
agree heartily with all the other comments, amazing detail and such precision...is that a Rotring pen you are using?
Can't imagine working on such a large scale let alone with such detail! Is it like meditation?
cheers

Thank you so very much, my friends! I have been working on this drawing for a year now-- taking time off occasionally to rest my brain, eyes and hands. The end is finally in sight!
