Getting any kind of positive feedback on your Black Panther project is immensely appreciated, but you can multiply that by 10 if that feedback comes from the King of Wakanda himself.

That's what happened to artist Krystle Hickman, who created a gorgeous drawing of Chadwick Boseman as King T'Challa from Black Panther. What makes the drawing even more impressive is that it was all done using a ballpoint pen, taking her around 46 hours to complete.

"WIP Ballpoint pen 9x12in. T'Challa from @theblackpanther #pen #ink #ballpointpen #tchalla #drawings #art #krystlehickmanart"

She shared a draft of the piece showing her progress and then unleashed the final version. That caught the eye of Boseman himself, who had nothing but kind words to say about her work.

"Krystle Hickman, your pen work is incredible. Thank you! #BlackPantherFanArt."

You can see the finished product above, but watching the full time-lapse video will give you an even greater appreciation of all the work that went into it, which you can find in the video above.

This artwork is worthy of any King or Queen, and you can find more of Krystle Hickman's art on her official website.

As for Boseman, fans can see him grace the screen yet again in the upcoming Avengers: Infinity War, but they can see him even sooner on the small screen. Boseman will be hosting Saturday Night Live on April 7 with musical guest Cardi B, which should make for an amazing show.

Marvel Studios' Black Panther is now playing in theaters. Avengers: Infinity War hits theaters on April 27, 2018. It is followed by Ant-Man and The Wasp on July 6, 2018. Captain Marvel hits theaters on March 8, 2019, while the fourth Avengers movie lands on May 3, 2019. The sequel to Spider-Man: Homecoming hits on July 5, 2019, and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 lands in 2020.
