Description
drawn in Gimp, based on this photo: [link]
update: I polished it a little, since there were a few things that kept bothering me everytime I looked at it. I don't know if you can see the difference, but I hope the new general impression is satisfying!

First: wonderful drawing. I really like the expression: it's sortof "uh? did you just drew me?".
Second: how did you create that "shine" in his hair? I've never managed to do that. Did you use an eraser? Tell me!

haha thanks a lot
hmm I didn't use any special effects or such, everything is done with simple tools and brushes. So basically I just drew the highlights with a light color.. and then I think I used a big, soft brush with high opacity to make the hair turn gradually into darker colors.. I'm sorry, it's hard for me to explain it in English, I hope any of this made sense to you.. xD

oh really.. I tried to make it even cooler than the original photo
thank you so much!

OMG yes!
Well, you know what I mean. You can tell it's Bob, but it's deffinately not as simple as the original pic. It's got pizazz and flare.
I wish I could draw like yew T-T
π: 0 β©: 1
ah yes. haha thanks I appreciate it
pfft I'm sure you can! All it takes is (basically) a lot of practice, time and patience.. Keep practicing, I promise it'll pay off! And besides, you're still very young and have aeons of time to learn! I'm counting on you now

I'm great a sketching (In fact, I should get some of my Dylan sketches up here soon...) for sureal and semi-realism, but on the computer, I'm crap.
I have a shaky hand, so the effect of trying to sketch using a line tool on photoshop doesn't come out all too great.
Hey....If I were to upload one of my sketches, would you want to color it? If you don't want to, dude, it's totally cool. I just suck at it, and have never done a color-partnership in art before
π: 0 β©: 1
oh I'm looking forward to see them
I see.. :/ actually my hand is pretty shaky too, I can't draw a straight line with the pen tool hehe ;D I always have to zoom in.. and my tablet sucks 8D but apparently it seems to work out anyways so I shouldnt complain heh.
I would love to color some of your sketches, that's the fun part
π: 0 β©: 1
Thank you n_n
Yea, same here. I only have the first photoshop, so it's not all fancy like OC or Tablet. So it's kinda boring to draw lol
Yay! oh my gosh, totally cool. Just lemme know when you're ready, because my friend scanned my stuff yesterday n_~
π: 0 β©: 1
I don't even have photoshop! 8D I use a program called Gimp, known as "poor man's photoshop" haha;D because it's free. but it's okay.
actually I don't draw digitally very often nowadays, I prefere the traditional way because it's more challenging in one way and the pic gets more personal ^^
oh sweeet, may I see them?
..shit I just got nervous D:
π: 0 β©: 1
Pro'lly better than my shittines art xP
Wait. NO. It is better.
I could never do what you can on the comp. Like, you can color as well as draw on the computer, all I can do is sketch, off the computer.
D8
I'm going to post them once my friend friggin' gives me the pass word to her photobucket to get my pics (she scans my r/l art for me, since I don't have a scanner)
Dont be nervous! I doubt you'll screw them up. Honestly lol, I doubt it.

OMG I just realized I mixed up your work with someone else's xDDDD I'm so very sorry, please forgive me ._. hehe and forget what I said about the "dylan-drawings" lol D:
π: 0 β©: 1
ROTFLMAOOL!
xDD
It's much good.
LOL.
π: 0 β©: 1
nowayyy seriously your art is awesome. Your characters are adoorable and you have a neat, personal style as well! I just copy pictures. D: and uhm those dylan-drawings of yours are digital aren't they? coloring looks great to me!^^
ah I see. That's one good thing about drawing on tha computer, you don't have to scan them pics-.- ..I don't have a scanner either, I so have to photograph my piccies with my webcam D'': my god it really sucks haha.
:3

Aw thanks n_n
What you can do, I can't -_- But I guess that's what makes people unique. I just wish it wasn't that people wished for other's abilities. I do xD my mom totally kicks my ass at sketching. And painting.
And, of course, i wish for amazing compy skills and Bob Dylan skills like yours lol
Yea, my scanner was stolen like 3 years ago. o___________o
I hate taking pictures of a peice of paper I drew on. It always comes out too dark, or you can't see the detail D8
π: 0 β©: 1
:B
haha but your mom is a lot older than you, isn't she? You will probably be kicking her ass in a few years!
all I have to say is practice makes perfect! O: It really does lol ;3
stolen? o_______o mine's just broken and I'm too lazy to fix it hehe ._.'
yeeess I hate that. and the colors always look pale and boring
π: 0 β©: 1
LOL true xD
Yea, my sister left our door open and when we came back from down the street, our scanner was unplugged and gone. I laughed suddenly on accident, because it was kidna random that they didn't take our laptop and our tv, and I got slapped xDD

oh O: yeah.. what a random thing to steal xD we had burglary once too, and they stole my gameboy haha
π: 0 β©: 1
Game Boys are awesome.
I never had one, but they rock. I just know it.
I know. He did it for the LOLz.
π: 0 β©: 1
yeah!
lol xD

My sister lets me play her Nintendo DS sometimes. It's pretty cool. I used to play my dad's gameboy, and I like it better. Like, I'm old school, seriously. I preffer Sega over X-Box anyday.
I'm a geek too lol
π: 0 β©: 1
oo I have a DS too
haha me too,most of the time. I think they make new consoles way too quickly and focus too much on the graphics and coolness instead of making a great, enjoyable game with a good story.
8D

Yea, I feel the same way. I love the old sega games because they were so corny, but seemed to have the most meaning.
My sister just bought a new game for her DS, and it's about this cowboy pig that must travel through vampire territory to find his cowboy pig son. So, it's a cowboy pig defeating vampires. It's really strange o__o
π: 0 β©: 1
haha O: I don't think I've heard of that game..hm.. but strange indeed xD
