Some students in our county complained about school ending to soon and that they did not get the education they have required. Thus everyone is obliged to meet up at school even when there is nothing to do.
So I started drawing on the blackboard

It's not done yet. Has a few areas remaining. I'll bring a better camara when it's finished (and remove that awful cable hanging in front of it).

Almost done, just the left wing, left front foot, and the tip of the tail left. Will post the final image (in glorious 10 Megapixels) on Monday

All I can say is "D*MN!"
The size and detail is impressive. The medium used is easily altered or destroyed, so that makes it so much more impressive.
The fact that you literally could not touch what you had already drawn without messing it up... Not many have that kind of patience nor that strong of a will.
Congratulations, Silvert. You have left me stunned and in complete awe of your work.

@Dragon444: The medium is kind of blessing, nothing is permanet: everything can be altered (or so i though, turns out that if you errase a part with water it will leave a border), and it is soo easy to make shadings.
From start to finish I used 24 hours distributed on 4 days (excluding the weekend). I've spoken with the cleaning department on the school, they didn't dare to touch it. So there is a chance it will stand until school begins again.
Question for the board: How much chalk did I use on the drawing?

I planed making a insane resulution version (at leas 40 MP)...
I utterly failed.
The images I took is not even enough for 1/10th of that. In a most stupidious an naive setting I didn't use an external trigger or a timer. You may wonder what the difference from using an external trigger when the camera is mounted on a tripod. To put it simple,
an external trigger does not move the camera, not even the slightes bit.
- Right side is with a timer, left is with the trigger on the camera

As you can see the right side is almost pixel perfect; a true testinomy of the quality of the lens and camera I used. The left side is just blur.
Sadly the drawing has since been errased.
