I define mini drawings as drawings 4" x 6" or smaller.  Even though these drawings are small in size, they do include a lot of detail.  To achieve the realism in this small space it takes many hours.  Some of my mini drawings take 15 -20 hours or more to complete.  I've included other objects in the images to show the small scale of these drawings.  Some of them include part of a pencil or my hand.
