Description

Alright, so this is a drawing I did of another friend of mine on Youtube. He wanted just a drawing of himself in a cartoon style. I wanted to make it somewhere in between a realistic and cartoon thing. So it started out when I first did the pencil sketch as a more realistic portrait with shading and everything. And I wasn't really that happy with it (plus he said he wanted a cartoon), so I refined it a lot, inked it, and cleaned it up, so then I had a simple lineart. I coloured it in Gimp, but I still wanted a bit of a realistic feel so I tried to keep the shading while still keeping with the cartooney aspect. So I did like block shading, or cell shading, whatever it's called. I still don't think it's that good, but it looks a lot better than the original portrait sketch I had. I really need to work on my realistic portraiture. But he liked it, so I guess that's all that matters.

Check out his Youtube account [link] He does vlogs mainly but he's really funny (and Canadian!). This drawing really doesn't do him justice, he's much cuter.

Oh and the 'Be Real' thing is his signature quote.

I've been in a real artistic funk lately, thus the major lack of drawings. This is really the only thing I've done in weeks. Ugh, first writer's block then artist's block! This blows. I think my muse has officially dumped me.

I can totally imagine seeing this on the streets of Toronto. Like one of those amazing graffiti works on the walls. x]
