I drew this phoenix on the local tennis court near my house. It took two hours and it was a real work-out! Those kendo-muscles came in handy... The phoenix is 5 meters from beak to tail and 4 meters across the wings, which is really too big... I foud out the hard way. Lost count on how many chalks I used up. Possibly my most expensive drawing ever. =/ I would have liked a better variety of colors, but I couldn't get my hands on any. I almost paniced when I realized I didn't have any black. (Nooooo!) The colors was a bit crappy, no real red, but only some replusive shade of pastell pink. *twitches* Well, what are you gonna do. I took the pictures immediately after finishing it, because I could almost hear the local kids drooling in the shadows to come out and kill it. I was right too, when I went to check on it three hours later, it was ruined.

 

The "street phoenix" was too big for me to photograph it properly. Either way I did it, it got out of porpotion or it didn't fit on the screen. So I took a couple of photos. In total, there are three uploaded here on Elfwood.

first time ever being the first to comment.yay! I love to draw pictures on the sidewalk but I have to say that none ever were this good. I love the colors in it, but I hear you when it comes to finding dark colors in the chalk.
