Scribble Portrait of Epic Fail

[tripperfunster]

Sometimes art works out just like you want it to, and sometimes, teeny, tiny little gnomes use mind control to FUCK YOU UP and your art is ... uh ... yeah, NOT what you intended.

This is one of those times.

I like how the little ickle scribbles turned into a human face. I don't like how you couldn't, for the life of you, guess who's face it's supposed to be.

To my credit, the reference pic didn't really look like the person in question either, but he was still recognizable.

*sigh*

And I must thank Licia for her scribble tutorial. Next time I'll just have to spend a bit longer on my line work!




And just for fun, a close-up of teh scribbles:

That looks a lot like Paul Micheal Glaser. The original Starsky from Starsky & Hutch as seen in my icon. ;D I love the close-up of the scribbles.

Ha! Totally! But not.

Someone else suggested the side-kick guy from Charles in Charge. Almost perfect! But no. :D

HMFG only THREE MORE DAYZ!!!!!eleventy111!!

Scribbles! What a great way to go. Looks a bit like Will Ferrell to me, but what do I know. :D

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Hey! You got it! (not that you'd have to be a rocket scientist to figure out that I might draw Will ...)

And yes, scribbles are fun!

[redheadsarehot.livejournal.com]

Yeah that is definitely Will Ferrell. Looks just like him

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Thank you! yes, It's supposed to be, but um ...yeah, I think I'll have to try again. (with a different photo reference.)

[redheadsarehot.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah and I forgot to say: The fact that you made that pic of all squiggles is fucking amazing.

Will Ferrell and Gilderoy Lockhart's Middle-Earth dwelling love child?

Still, I think it's amazing--I really like the hair's texture and all the different colors in the cheeks. Scribble-art seems pretty tough, too, so good job.

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

hahahaha! Thier Hobbit love-child! *snerk* Too funny!

And no, once you get your head around it, scribbles are actually pretty easy. It's a slow build up of layers, so it's more forgiving than you'd think.

I think it looks like someone from the "Stepbrothers" movie poster *lol* like Will Ferrel or that other guy.

The circle thing is pretty impressive I have to say.

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Hee! He's supposed to be Will Ferrell, but the likeness isn't very good. Oh well, an excuse to try again! :D

Pretty intricate stuff, you are the mistress of good scribble as well as good squick ^^

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

:D Thanks hon! I'm not a scribble mistress yet, but I'm working on it! :D

[hecate-12.livejournal.com]

Look like Will Ferrell to me, too. Pretty awesome scribbles right there!

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Thank you! He sort of turned out younger and handsomer...probably because I think of him that way. :D

[eeyore9990.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm thinking that's Will Ferrell. And it's still lightyears ahead of what most people can do, so I think you're still tops. :D

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Hee! I guess that's one way to look at it! :D Thanks hon! <3

It looks like the guy from 'eight is enough', but I never watched on episode all the way through, so , yeah, I don't know who it is.
But! It's an excellent drawing. :)

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Ha! Tommy!!! It totally looks like him! teehee! It's not supposed to be, but yeah, you nailed it! :D

[antisocial-nerd.livejournal.com]

Will Ferrel?

Looks good though :D

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Thanks hon! yeah, it's supposed to be Will, but meh. Not a great likeness. I had fun doing it though. I guess I'll just try again. :D

[kerosinkanister.livejournal.com]

I'm going with Will Ferrel!
