My first attempt in a long time at drawing an actual person. A guy at my work wanted me to draw his whole band cartoon style for him. I never got around to it, and so today I tested my hand at it to see if I still had any talent at people. I’m… ok… I want to be 10x this good, and 10x as fast. This took me 2 hours (sketch + color). I used a.viary (free online image editor) to color and ink this.
Here’s the original:
Here is the band I’m drawing (called Red Moon). The guy in the gray shirt is the one I was trying to draw:

You know you’re getting better when your digital rendition is better than your original sketch. If I ever need cartoon likenesses for a client, especially band-related stuff, I’m definitely calling you.

lol, thank you.
I actually took that picture of the sketch, dragged it into a.viary and then traced it with the paint brush and filled it with the paint bucket. Of course, that gave me the chance to play with the lines a lot and fix little things…
Had I had time to shade it, and had I used my Wacom Tablet instead of my crappy mouse, I might have been more happy with it. I think the thing I am least happy about is that it took me two hours to do instead of twenty minutes…
