Do you like drawing? If you do, are you good at it? This guy named Fola David took artwork to another level! He made a drawing about 1050 square meters!

Fola David is a doctor by night and artist by day. He says living as a medical doctor and artist has been quite exciting and yes it has. It’s tough, most days he loses sleep for a long time just to fit it all in.

Fola David spent nearly a week on what he hopes will be the largest ever drawing created by one person. He needed a large enough space to draw his gigantic masterpiece, so he worked on it in a stadium in the city of Lagos, Nigeria.

The artist says that his art, which shows two giant hands holding Nigeria’s map, is the celebration of the country’s cultural heritage. Nigeria, which is Africa’s most heavily populated native is made up of about 250 ethnic groups.

This new record is totally amazing. Well it’s not a new record yet. The Guinness World Record body will need to check his work to see if he’s beaten the previous record which was set in 2021 by Indian artist Ravi Soni, and his drawing, which is a cool map of Nigeria, was a massive 629.98 m².

Now, I think he is a cool artist. He worked really hard on that painting. Well, I hope he breaks the record!
