The art of making art

Pencil, paper, time.

A drawing starts as a blank sheet and ends weeks later, one stroke at a time. What you see up close is the paper and the pencil, nothing else.

01 The drawing

40 to 150 hours of graphite or colored pencil.

02 Up close

Every fold, star and shadow is a pencil mark on paper.

03 The print

Archival paper, printed at the drawing’s original size, so the print is the drawing at scale.

The story behind the drawing

Senna Sempre

Ayrton Senna in his helmet, drawn in graphite on Legion Stonehenge over about 40 hours. In 2024 it was one of eight finalists in McLaren’s Senna fan-art contest, picked from thousands of entries. It was the only finalist drawn by hand.

Meet the artist

Thirty years in technology.
A lifetime with a pencil.

I’m Chris Schain. I draw in South Florida, in graphite and colored pencil, one line at a time. Most pieces take forty to sixty hours; the biggest have taken a hundred and fifty.
