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:

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.

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.
