This drawing/painting is called Nighthawks (1942). I choose this painting because I found his sketches and drawing of it very interesting. This is a very well known painting and I always just assumed that the artist just began a painting on a canvas and created this masterpiece. But as I looked into the background of this painting it showed that he had story boards. He would take small elements of the work and draw and redraw them to detail. I really like how once color is added the image come to life. You go from a black and white scene to a place where you can picture yourself being. I also really enjoy the details of the shadow that are placed in the painting.
