so sorry, didnt mean to nag.

I am doing these honestly. I am rather busy right now so patience is needed :)

Im joining in.Camille, but I really cant sing so will just hum

"nobody likes me
everybody hates me
sittin in the garden eastin worms
big fat juicy worms
little teeny squirmy worms
sittin in the garden eatin worms
first you bite the heads off
then you suck the juice out
then you throw the skins away
nobody likes me
everybody hates me
sittin in the garden all day"

sing it with me!

My Momma taught me that one when I was a wee lass

no takers? I am sad. I feel like the last person left,( again), when choosing sides for gym.

I'M AN ANGEL!!!!! So cool thank you :D

Barbara, thanks for sending me the two images. I love tthem both. You are very kind and generous to have shared your work with me. Once again, it was a thrill to be chosen as your subject.
Dale

how will we know if someone has done one?

I'm game

Abbie as an angel

Abbie, sorry the arms and hands were a challenge. I think I'll go back to animals and digital! It was fun trying.

Dale, I will take a better picture of it over the weekend and would be pleased to email it to you. It may look better in monochrome like your avatar.

Barbara

Barbara your take on my avatar is nothing short of genius! You must be familiar with my passion for cats as expressed in one of my galleries. In fact, my email is "Catdale", which would make a great title for this masterpiece. I truly, honestly love this image and would be delighted if I could somehow obtain a copy. Thank you for selecting my avatar and for doing such creative, inspired work with it.
Dale

A puddy cat?

I love it! Very unusual and unique view on a beautiful avatar


Well done :)

It is in a password protected gallery - the password is 'community'.
I really don't think I will get much work doing portraits! Not human ones anyway - lol.

This is a version of Dale Ford as a cat. (Sorry, Dale)

I am not sure where the avatars are in my top post :|

However, I am off for an hour or two now and am going to try Jean again

Well, I am having a go - I've started one of Dale - she may not recognise herself though! I'll continue with it and post what I've done tomorrow.

A fun challenge and good work by all! I hope that more folks give it a go.

And kudos to those who had the decency (and basic manners) to give acknowledgement of the effort of the sketcher to attempt this challenge. (Thanks, Abbie.)

mmmmmmm jelly beansssssss

Roger, I think that is fantastic. You really caught the essence of the image with a few simple lines... or are those jelly beans?

Very cool Roger and just in the rules of the game :D

Looking forward to it Sheena!! I am back on Jean's. For a little lady (in the image) she sure is hard LOL

Abbie it's a rainy day today...my daughter and I are just lounging around....so I might tackle yours today.....we will see

Am I cheating?


.

By the way the original is a lot more bedazzling

Lovely conversation but, may we get back to sketching those 2d images now?

I do not want the momentum lost

Roy,

If one is only using only one photograph to make a drawing with... all that will result is transference of the image from one 2 dimensional surface to another,,,,,In fact, the best way to copy that image is to turn the original upside down.....Since all one is doing is making a drawing of a photograph..and not a drawing of the person photographed.

All we can work from is the photos given...If someone is squinting from the sun.or has a perpetual squint (Clint Eastwood) how are we to know?

As to knowledge of bone structure...Again I insist that one has to encounter that structure in it's alive, 3 dimensional form to have any semblance of understanding the reality of the subject portrayed.

I'm working on sketches of Beth, Rick, and Donna :)
Pinched a nerve in my elbow two nights ago, so it's slow going... but I'm working on them! :)

WTG Beth... great sketching!!

I have been on the receiving end of this vandalism before so what the heck, I'm in again.

I'll be a sketcher as soon as I finish a drawing tonight :)

A note about these works for a couple of people who have asked why we cant have larger images to draw from

They are MEANT to be hard. That is the point of them. What can we as drawing people see, without having it thrust in our faces in a large sketch?.

They may not be perfect copies of a person but they are what we, the artist, makes of a small image. However you are allowed to stretch them to make a print out.

----------------------------------

Greg, here is yours :)

I can only draw the people who have pasted what I asked them to paste. It gives us the right to show your work both here and on the magazine. Otherwise we cannot do it really.

Gregory and Natalie are the only people to have done it properly :(

Are there no sketchers out there who wish to do some avatar sketching?

Here is the one I had to finish of +Google member Seruzeus Simon Seamount.



Now I will play with a couple here lol

WE NEED SKETCHERS

Natalie Holland

Awesome! Thanks Beth! :-)

Rats! I am a cat so I guess I am out! meow! But I shall be watching!

I am going to do yours Lara :) I have to do Surazeus first then I will do yours :)

Anyone else can take yours too.

I would love it if someone creative could sketch my avatar, I can't draw to save my life Lol! That's why I take pictures I guess ;-)

Firstly Gregory I can only see a paint brush as your avatar as I don't think you are actually logged into your artist account properly

Secondly I said NO LARGER IMAGES are allowed. Only the avatar size here or on the profile page

If it helps, you can see a larger version of my avatar at:

(Posting flickr links won't get me booted, will it?)
If I edit avitar sized images, my results are always crappy. But I'm a photographer, using photographic editing techniques.
If I were to attempt this, I would work on a large image, and resize it to an avatar as my final step.

If you can make something out of this at avatar resolution, I am very impressed!

I think it's a great idea. =) LOL...I doubt what I would do would be recognizable though.

If you do something in PS then you can just take the avatar and change it. Not really the point of the exercise.

Even if you cannot draw you can have a go at this. It doesn't have to be perfect, just have a look of the avatar you are copying

LOL "The image you sketch must look like the avatar" and if you can't draw?(JOKE)
My camera is traveling until Wednesday or Thursday,so I can't.
Can I do something on PS?
Does it have to look like a sketch?
