That's some gorgeous ink use. I love brownish ink...it makes such prettiness.

 

[U2fan003]

Thanks alot!!

[The 'brown' ink is actually black ink when I had accidentally spilled red ink on it and fell in the can......... haha.]

 

[AnCatKatie]

Oh. That's an ink coordination fail. It looks awesome though. I wish my mistakes turned out that pretty.

 

[U2fan003]

A funny fail yes. It happened quite some time ago, I just didn't bother to go buy a new black ink...

Thanks!

Here's some bad sketchiness without reference:

(Bono and Edge from '88ish...ssh, I know, Edge's face is wrong...I can only really draw his eyes without reference)

and technically 70s!Ali counts as U2 fan art...

LOVE IT. LOVE IT. LOVE IT. I don't think his face is that wrong - and that's me! The connoisseur of JT/RH Edge!



Any and all JT Edge drawings you want to play with I LOVE. How about an AB Edge in honour of the big doc? Bandana Edge!!!!!!!! GRRRR!!!

 

[AnCatKatie]

Ok, to make up for sketchy fail.

1987 Cowboy Bono:

(something went wrong with his nose or mouth, I don't know what still, he's pretty)

Pirate Edge. My favorite cause I spent so effing long on it from 10pm to 1am...

Larry F.O.A.D. Mullen and his eyefuckness. I stayed up till 2 drawing this man.

Ah this makes me wanna pick up the paint and brushes again. I especially like the moody look on Larry's face.

 

[U2fan003]

Congrats AnCatKatie! That Larry drawing is very nice

And I TOTALLY love the one of Ali in the 70s!!




I've been wanting to try animation for a while but never got up and actually done something. Until yesterday. And it feels great!

U2 - Mr. MacPhisto Classic Animation [1st Try] - YouTube

This is my first try ever in animation, so please excuse me.

No need to say from which video this is I did not spend time caring about drawing his (lovely) face because I wanted to focus more on the movement of his body. I guess it does count as fan art though

Animation inspiration from the incredibly brilliant, Mr. Glen Keane.

Frames: 30
Medium: Pencil on paper
Time: 2 hours drawing

[AnCatKatie]

Moody Larry is

Thanks guys!


As I said on DA, that animation is awesome

 

[Gabi_Clayton]

The animation is amazing

 

[popmartlemon93]

That animation kick arse! Must favourite on DA...now....

 

[AGirlLikeTheSea]

I started with a simple pencil drawing to hopefully get me started. I used to draw almost daily when I was younger but but after attending art class I've been so reluctant to draw again. My DeviantArt profile fills up very slowly I'm afraid.
Fly Bono, I shall update slowly to Elevation Bono, have to follow the evolution of his looks. Have to learn to draw the others, I can't remember ever drawing Adam and Larry.

 

[Casamares]

This is brilliant Nicole!

Great start on the movement, very smooth and recognizable. I wish I could do that, animators have the power to make films without having to rely on actors, sets etc.

Thanks guys XD

I was inspired last night to paint this because Larry in the reference looks quite droolworthy:

OMG, a perfect Larry

 

[U2fan003]

Thanks a lot guys!!

It was really great fun! Might try some more I'd love to try the 'Bono-falling-down-from-the-van' during the Stuck in A Moment video, that video was what made me a fan

And, AGirlLikeTheSea, congrats!! Your pencil 'handwriting' is really nice!

Do it!
I have a great sentiment for this song and video. I remember watching Streets-, ISHFWILF- and Stuck-videos with my face looking like this: That was the day when I became a fan

 

[Mephy]

everyone is so talented. I love the sketches, AnCatKatie, especially the detail of Bono's freckles. And the paintings are awesome

U2fan003 - the animation is really cool. I'd love to see one for SIAM too!

AGirlLikeTheSea - This is great. I've attempted to draw Fly Bono before, but it wasn't half as good/detailed as this.

Also, all this art reminded me of the atU2 Achtoon Baby guide on how to draw the guys, for anyone who hasn't seen: Bono and Edge ("do you like painting different coloured abstract blobs with eyes behind them?" ) and Adam and Larry

The Edge wants to help you draw him, I love how his eyes, eyebrows and beanie has this perfect repeated curve.
I used to draw Bono and The Edge a lot in my teens, I've been trying to find them again. I remember doing a series of drawings only with black shadow-like ink lines. I hope I haven't lost them.

 

[AGirlLikeTheSea]

I tried to draw Adam. His eyes bother me a bit but I think it's a fair likeness. I'm not really good a drawing from pictures, I usually draw some study drawings until I can remember the face and expressions well enough to to draw by memory.
Age has been good to Adam, his appearance used to freak me out when I was a teen and I called him the ugly one, I had to take that back when I saw him in that strange "driving" video with the Last Shadow Puppets soundtrack. Damn he looks good now
