"Crosby" okubi-e (big-head picture), 84 x 45 inch pen and ink drawing is complete. This one is by far the most complex and involved drawing I've attempted with almost twice the line density of any previous drawing and over 10 million lines of code required to guide the machine movement. About three weeks to resolve the image and produce the code and almost 400 hours of continuous drawing! I beefed up the darkest areas by re-drawing and called it complete.

Here's an image of the portrait:
