i sort of drew it before i drew most of the face though which was dumb

anyway i'm pretty happy w/ it

esp. given that i only draw ~3 things/year

david byrne has a good face to draw.

whoa! that's pretty good. The people on this board are so talented.

Isn't that guy from, like, the 80s or something? I think I recognize him from a feature I saw on VH1. Why did you pick him to draw?

wait, isn't he from the band that did that joke song?

Were all their songs like that, or were some of them serious? I think I'd like to hear them if they were.

i like everything but the tiny mic (already noted) and the shading by the nose. In general i think you might have been slightly heavy handed on the shadows but the one by the nose, i think, is a bit much.

However: i have no idea what this guy looks like so maybe this is accurate?

well it is accurate because the photo i took it from is lit really weirdly and also he's very sweaty so there is a ridiculously strong light/dark contrast

mfa the nose and eyes are shaded kind of heavily because i started with those and when i started the pictured i was in a scribbly mood but the rest was done more evenly

or wait are you talking about the cheekbone? anyway i promise it's accurate for the picture it was from

i'll do one with less ridiculous shading next time

thanks everyon!

ps. sorry everyone about the mic

no, i was mainly talking about the spot by the nose--the cheeks, obviously, have very heavy shading but i think it works better than the part by the nose.

and definitely keep these up!
