Hey look, it's Art!

I'm a guy, so I won't agree, lol, but it looks quite good

. The nose looks a little crooked, though; dunno if that's supposed to be there or not.

I'd really like to see a video or something of the way you work. I find it fascinating that you get these done so quickly. Even when I use charcoals, I don't get near as much coverage on a page in a short amount of time

I did take some progress photos for this one, but I drew it in a way I wouldn't advise anyone to draw. I don't map out the picture before I start. I just start at some arbitray place and build up detail around there, then I tackle the rest without a guide to aid the proportion of the drawing.

It actually took me around 3 hours to finish this one, on and off (I was watching TV at the time).

Jim Carrey, as seen in 'A Series Of Unfortunate Events'.

I really want to start doing some original stuff.

Well Meggie moo moo, I just stumbled across this thread....and wow...you are a very gifted artist....that drawing of Davey Jones is absolutely amazing....Very cool!

He looks like his Fire Marshall Bill character from In Living Color. Beautiful.

That Jim Carrey one is most exellent

though the one eye is a bit strange... still, it's awefull (not awesome in that it makes me full of awe instead of just some)

Hmm. I have seen a few skits from some show called Saturday Night Live, and I remember one was Jim Carrey as a Fire Marshall. I assume that's what you're talking about.

Yeah, Jim Carrey has a lot of weird expressions. I swear, the proportion is perfect. His eye really was like that.

And here's a frog done in coloured pencil.

Brilliant.

I'm not really satisfied with this one:

It's Jim Carrey playing 'Count Olaf' in A Series Of Unfortunate Events.

I have a huge art project on the horizon. It's going to be great.

Ahh, the hands do look a little thick, and the eyes look a little tweaked, but great shadowing. I especially love the look of his left pinkie indenting his cheek.

Ahh, nifty subject

I had a bit of spare time on my hands, so I tried to imitate a portraiture style whilst doing a self-portrait... of myself (hmmm. Tautology). It's done with a fineliner and a pink gel pen.

Wow. That's simply amazing. So awesome.

That would make like a great computer background....
