Viva el Cantante! - My drawing of Chris

Featured Replies

Click here to see it. :lol:

Ā 

I think this is my first serious attempt at drawing him. I've never drawn a real person with light hair before, that was kind of a challenge. But I'm really happy with how it turned out. Hope you guys like it. :)

Ā 

Nice drawing ad nice words:smug:

I love the eyes. You're good :nice:

that's :awesome: awesome!:P

:clap:

Wow. Thank you so much for all the compliments on the portrait, guys! I'm glad you like it! Ya know, I thought of these boards while drawing it. ;)

Ā 

LOVE the way you drew his hair. Nice job.

Ā 

I could learn a thing or two from this picture. :D I'm an artist, too.

Thanks! His hair was very difficult... since it's light AND curly, there is a lot to show. It was fun, though I wish I could've made it a liiiittle more golden.

Ā 

Do you have a deviantART account? :P I always like to add people I know from other places.

That's a fantastic drawing - although I think the nose is just a smidge too long, otherwise the exaggerated features are amazing, and really capture Chris's appearance. Amazing work - you are so incredibly talented! :nice:

Thank you! :lol: I always appreciate constructive crit.

Ā 

But you know... I only believe in talent sometimes. I'm hesitant to say I'm talented (of course I don't mind hearing it from others! Little ego boosts, y'know :P ), because all I've done is spent countless hours and late nights in my room, for the past 10 years, working on this stuff. And you better get somewhere if you work on anything for that long, haha.

Ā 

Why I'm saying this is because I hear a lot of people who say they wish that they could draw, like it's some gift from the gods they'll never have. No. If you have the drive to do it, you will go as far as you want to go. Don't think you need a ton of expensive art supplies, either -- I used supplies on this one that every ten year-old uses.

Oh my god! :stunned:

That“s amazing!!!! It looks just like him! :nice:

AWESOME job KM! :clap: :clap: :wacky:

gorgeous drawing:nice:

wisely spoken! that's what I always say - only in german words ;)

Talent is just a plus in interests and in work. The more you are interested to do something the more you work for it the further you get.

Ā 

-and you got pretty far as I can see...

Thanks guys :)

Ā 

I have a favor to ask... If one of you happens to have that photo of Chris on hand (er, on file...), could you post it? There are so many picture threads/galleries and I cannot go through thousands of pages looking for it right now. :P

Thanks guys :)

Thanks KingChris! :lol:

What photo exactly? :D

The one I used for the drawing -- same pose and everything. The only place I can remember seeing it is in the first Viva la Vida tour program, in the Chris section.
