This was not done by me, it was done by my friend for her art coursework. She copied this photo of me: And made this drawing (pencil on canvas): I was quite impressed by it so I thought I'd share it with you guys to see what you think.

Hell, I like it. =D
I could never draw like that. I can barely draw a near-perfect circle.

...Cool. People are choosing you for their art studies. You must feel so special. Seriously though, that is pretty cool. It's a very good portrait, and its way cool to have a portrait of yourself.

It did actually make me really happy when she told me she'd drawn a picture of me.
I'm thinking I might get a print of it. XD

Yes, it did look pretty cool.

It was her birthday, so I drew her one back. Mine was copied from a photo too, but I'm sure she wouldn't appreciate me posting photos of her on the internet. I'm quite proud of it, seeing as I'm normally awful at art in general. I did squash the picture vertically slightly, though. Any thoughts?

The cheek bone looks a little too pronounced, it looks a bit unnatural. Maybe round it out or shorten it, or just use shading instead of lines and it might look better.

That is actually how it looks in the picture in this case, because she is pulling a slightly weird face. But you'll just have to trust me on that one. The mouth is the most inaccurate bit I think.

That is a pretty impressive portrait there, Simmo. I don't even have the patience to try and draw people.... any attempts usually end in my self-esteem being totally devastated and taking an entirely temporary oath 'never to draw again'.

I think you should post her picture. Preferably without any clothes.
Btw, what kind of gay gloves are you wearing in your picture?

Come on now, Elgen; remember those little keywords we talked about? 'Tasteful' and 'Respect'? I believe we should be exercising those when discussing Simmo's friend, here; it would be a shame if you made me put you back in the box.
I think it looks quite good, Simmo; I especially like the eye(lids) and eyelashes, for some reason. Overall, I'd say a job very well done. Though, it might be nice to have the original photo to have for comparison. Just a thought.

Apart from Elgen, I'm sure there are very few perverts here. But I'd not appreciate people randomly putting up my photo online, so out of respect for your friend's right to privacy, I'd say don't, but good job on the portrait anyway.

Not the box, DarkNova, not the box...

Good news is, here's the photo! Bad news is, no naked pics, sorry Elgen.

Wow, you did a really good job... ...but... is that you in the background there? I think I recognise the shirt, correct me if I'm wrong...
