COIMBATORE: A 21-year-old college student from the city has entered the Guinness Book of Records by creating the largest freehand drawing within 13 hours.
Monisha Ravi, a resident of Thondamuthur, drew the record setting 6,057sqft large drawing on August 15, 2020, to mark the Independence Day.
While the observers and judges had submitted all the documents and the Guinness World Records had accepted the same in last August itself, Monisha received the record holder certificate by post only on Sunday (June 20).
Monisha, a first-year MBA student of Sankara College of Science and Commerce, said she had enjoyed freehand drawing since her childhood.
“I used to pursue it as a hobby.
I decided to get into the Guinness Book of Records with it to get my passion international recognition.” Her friends and family had helped her buy 100m rolls of 100gsm paper, cut and paste them together into a 6,057sqft large canvas that she used to create doodling of floral art, breaking the record of a 5,000sqft large piece of art that was completed in 12 hours.
Monisha also holds a place in the India Book of Records for painting the most number of portraits on egg shells in a short span of time.
On January 30, she had painted 30 portraits on egg shells within 1 hour, 39 minutes and 59 seconds.
“I want to keep pursuing drawing in the future as well,” the MBA student said.
