I was bored. So I drew a picture...

[CMM]

Manda, your shading and shadowing has killed me.
I love it.

 

[GeneralGripweed]

Yeah Manda, the shading is amazing. Great job!

digsy, I'm curious. How do you do those paintings? I did something similar last year for school.

 

[GeneralGripweed]

This is probably as much as I'm going to get done on this painting for a while. I have to sit down for a while and get his shirt done, that'll take forever. So here's the almost-finished product.

Excellent painting General! Painting is so much harder than drawing for me. You are really good! He looks so cute

i design it using photosop to start with and then just copy the design onto canvas... for some of the really large ones, i'll use a projector to try keep the lines and detail as perfect as possible.

after that it's really just paint by numbers!

Brilliant painting!!!! Well done, wow he looks so awesome there!

 

[GeneralGripweed]

Thank you very much bonocomet and U2 Beginner. The good feedback is very much appriciated. I don't get much from my art teacher.

And digsy, that's what I did as well. Except yours turned out better than mine.

Guh.......... POP Edge This is truly amazing, when I draw U2, I always make them stick figures And don't listen to your art teacher She is

 

[MandaMarnot]

I love this, it's really great! I have to agree with the others, don't listen to your art teacher. My last one I had didn't want to give me the highest grade in her course because I didn't want to spend every minute making colour swirls to see how the colours mixed... And of course she had to tell me that! I would have been so satisfied with the next highest grade if I hadn't known that...

ok here's the 2nd part of me drawing... it's not finished yet.. still have to do the mouth, face shading and the hair... altho I think Bono would be quite hot with platinum-blonde hair!!!!
and no, his cheekbones don't look THAT horrible in the drawing... it's the way my webcam decided to show them.,... I really need to get a new cam or a scanner... ><
every critic part is welcome ^^

 

[phistolemon]

Excellent! I'm not worth a damn as a figure drawer, that's why all of my paintings are abstract.

That's looking great! I have nothing to critic other than his cheeckbones which you have explained, so keep it up and can't wait to see the finished piece!

Ï just wondered.. is the one you painted the same Edge as in your avatar?

 

[bonocomet]

Bono's looking great Gg!! Keep it up! I'm dying to start a new drawing but promised myself not to until I get my boring other stuff done first like doing my taxes... ug! Definitely not as fun as drawing the boys....

 

[GeneralGripweed]

thanks to you....... also

Not quite. I can't find the original picture of my avatar.

I used this one, which is extremely close.

This is the biggest picture of my avatar that I have.

 

[bonocomet]

omygosh, I'd never seen that one of Edge!!! wow I love it!!

 

[Galeongirl]

oh I love all the colors

also.. I am finished.. and I really need a scanner cuz my webcam makes it look horrible!!!!
actually.. I think it looks more like Pierce Brosnan than Bono... well at least it still is irish then
tell me what you think plz

 

[U2 Beginner]

Wow Galeongirl, That is so awesome!!!! Love the shades!

 

[GeneralGripweed]

Wow Galeongirl, That is so awesome!!!! Love the shades!

Agreed!! That looks amazing! And I see no Pierce Brosnan, just pure sweet Bono.

 

[Babydoll]

sweet, adorable, lovely, sexy, beautiful bono. its an amazing pic, GG!

 

[GeneralGripweed]

Just started on this one. That's not the entire thing, (he has a face and a head too!) but it's what I did so far.

 

[U2 Beginner]

Wow! That is loopking SUPER GeneralGripweed!!!!

 

[Galeongirl]

wow... if you'd tell me it was a picture of Edge with photoshop painted effect I'd believe you at the second! the eyes look so real !

and thanks for the kind words everybody maybe I should start another one... the idea of drawing *the tub* has occured my mind... but it would be impossible... I mena... how can I draw something while watching THAT hmmm I'd sure love to draw The Fly... or maybe PopBono, since I haven't had that one yet... ok, Elevation either but PopBono is different

 

[U2 Beginner]

Need help. Just scanned the picture I drew after all this time, but how do I put it on here?

And GaleonGirl, Pop Bono is probably my favourite go ahead!!

but I'm very picky in getting a good pic... it must be with hair tho.,.. I can't do the pop-chop! but I do love the short hair popchop.. just not the crew-cut! and preferably no shades...

also, if you want it here.. go to www.imageshack.us and upload it there... then it'll show you a shitload of links.. pic the lowest one,... copy it.. make a reply here, and above the text box in wich you type yoiur message you'll see a button with IMG on it... click on that... insert the link.. and voila ^^

 

[U2 Beginner]

Thanks Galeongirl! What about the smokin' hot pic?!?!

Right, I think I've got it now.
