New Drawing....My Mom as a little girl...

Kind of a teaser I know, as I don't have a pic just yet, but it's almost done.... I'm using an old photo as the base...

It's a surprise birthday present...as we're celebrating this weekend... I'm hoping for the waterworks, hehe....

I'll post a pic likely tomorrow....as it should be done then...

Finished it....here it is.... Not the best picture of it, but..

Great Drawing!!! I really like it.

BTW how is the job hunt coming along?

You've got an amazing ability, Gazrok. I'm sure your mother will just love it!

I'm signed up with several agencies....professional staffing ones, required testing, interviews, etc. and they're looking... I'm simply not going to take a job that pays the same as my unemployment....

I'm confident though.... Won't be what I was making most likely....but I'm good at working my way up...

Thanks all!

I hope she likes it... I don't have the money to buy her much...I'll be doing good to get a nice frame, hehe....

To compound it, my brother's boyfriend's birthday is also being celebrated...so I'm thinking of doing a quick Reagan drawing for him...(he's into that...)

Sounds great! Also it sounds like you are following the most important rule when unemployed---- stay optimistic---

Is there any way you can post the original Picture as well?

Wonderful artwork! Five stars, three cheers, and two thumbs up. Stand tall and be proud!!!

Sure, here's the original photo...I took some liberties on the hair....




And the older drawing I spoke of, a self portrait (from high school days...), but there's reflection on the glass of the frame...the flash on the glasses though, is drawn... I don't have the original photo of this one....it was more than 10 years ago...

damn dude, now you make my pictures uber suck


you talented homewrecker!

lol, really though, great skill man!

Awesome!!!

You can draw great! That drawing looks almost exactly like the picture.

Except I also took liberties on the dress, as it was hard to make out in the photo...

The funny part is, I snapped a digital pic of the original photo last time I was over her house for the holidays....so she's going to wonder how I did it, as she has the only copy of the photo, hehe....

awesome artwork gazrok, I am sure your mom will love it. Thoughtful creative handmade gifts are way better than something picked up at a store.

btw, I suck at drawing people

I do too normally....as far as just sketching... I need to use a grid to make the proportions right... If you're drawing a specific person, just a little bit off on one proportion, and it can throw the whole thing off....it's tricky...

I screwed up my Reagan drawing (again for a gift), and I'm just fixing it today...
