Thought I'd better contribute something as I've been negligent for a number of months. This is the third in a series of drawings my wife has requested for hanging in our home. Doesn't rank up there with the true artists, but it was a lot of work. The print on canvas will be 40" x 30", for the living room.
The portraits on the opposing walls I had to convert to bitmaps as the file size is extremely large, about 55 megs.

WOW!
That's a tremendous amount of work.
Looks brilliant.

I don't think I can pick a favourite part.

Love it Ron. Love the sunlight on the wall as well as the total look and feel of the image.

That's tremendous Ron. I can see that was a lot of work. Most architectural renderings are, particularly interiors. I have seen many computer generated renderings and most do not even compare with what you have done. This is among the best.

It is great with real atmosphere, the attention takes his time here and there and then even will find a small dog in the room

Have to agree with what everyone is saying WOW great drawing Ron! The actual room and all the furniture is superb it really lives and breathes the correct atmosphere. If I was really picky, and I mean picky, here Ron the women's back just lacks something, it's too clean, maybe a line to represent a zipper or a clothing fold/crease. But is still is a great, great drawing great atmosphere. ***** drawing

That's an amazing image, Ron. How did you do the texturing of the rug?

Awesome image with lots of attention to details, specially love the dog as it looks very real.

One question, is the coffee table supposed to be round? If it is, then I would change the orientation of the top as it does not quite look right for the perspective. If you rotate the ellipse little to the right, then it will look more round and in level. ( Might just be my eyes making tricks and in that case you are free to ignore everything I typed.)

Below is an example to demonstrate what I am suggesting.
