"I used 900 liters of white paint, 401 cans of black spray paint (for the outside), 286 bottles of black drawing paint (for the inside) and 2296 pen nibs (I only used four different sized pens, but they were refillable and the nibs were replaceable)."
"The whole house is real, everything is doodled, the doodles were all hand doodled for the animation it's not CGI," he added. He also thanked all the people who helped to capture his doodle house which he dreamt of creating since he was a teenager. "I'd like to thank my Mum and Dad because ever since they let me draw over my bedroom walls when I was a kid I have wanted to live in a property completely covered in characters of my own. creation. A DoodleLand filled with happy creatures that bring me joy when I see them. For me, that's what I create art for, to make myself happy and to hopefully make others happy along the way," he further added.
