So this was going to be Hugo Weaving (I picked him to draw because the photo had good lighting, not because I'm some LOTR junkie) but because I was sleepy and stupid, I drew him from a strange angle. I noticed the face I was drawing was looking strange so I picked up the Hugo photo and put it next to my drawing so I could compare it, well, I discovered that I had totally distorted Hugo's proportions. As well, it looks like Dennis Quaid. Rather than ditch the effort I figured I'd embrace the mess up and make it look like some Weaving/Quiad love child. I wanted to draw much more detail but because Dennis Quid attacked my drawing, I got pissed and stopped. Hopefully next time I'll remember to look at my reference photo at the correct angle.

At first Glance, I thought it was Randy Quaid....LOL!

Nah this looks just like the guy that played Agent Smith. Great stuff. Sorry for late comment.

This is amazing, how could you sit at a computer for 6 hrs+ and draw this? I am utterly amazed.

it looks great, wonderful colors and lighting; as to those of you who draw and paint from photos a lot; try real people, and real things,scenes, more often. Photos are great, but they have limitations.You can only draw the picture exactly how iit's shown in the photograph. Real people and objects,& scenery are 3 dimensional, and they are harder to draw, but there is nothing like 3-dimensional REALITY to make you excercise your sight-and-drafting muscles. With 3-dimensional reality, you have to decide how you see the person or object; the lighting,color,sizes, ect.Even the style. This is done for you, often in a photo; not in the real, 3-D object. Before photography, artists had to practice SEEING THE OBJECT right from the start.What are the angles & shapes? What is the composition?How much color, dark, light, or shadow? Proportion? Don't think you can let a photograph decide all that for you, every time. With drawing & painting from reality, you make the choices and judgements, but its well worth the work.

drawn in 1 hour 14 min

I'm finally finished with this draw.....it's making me crazy!!! She's supposed to be a 'mystical' fire spirit....I hope this is what a 'fire spirit' is supposed to look like....'lol'!!! I used a 'ref' pic.....my version looks a lot different than the 'ref' pic. I couldn't remove all the textures without totally erasing everything, and starting over.....so I just changed some things and added some things, and fixed it the best that I could, and I think it does look better....I actually like it with the textures....it gives the pic a 'mystical' look. It's supposed to be a 'mystical' image, and I think it looks like a totally texturized mystical draw....'lol'!!!!!!!! Anyways.....I'm glad that I'm finally done with it.....me and my 'mouse' need a rest from this draw.....:-0

There is no underwater scene where there are fish in the water. There is an underwater scene of a woman and a child in a pit filling with rainwater, and a scene of men jumping over a waterfall. I've seen the movie at least 4 times, if not more. Great movie.

davincipoppalag (May 5, 2014)

<as usual out of the loop never even HEARD of that movie

firecracker (May 5, 2014)

You got it MissDj.....it's the underwater scene of a woman and her child in a pit filling up with rainwater....there's no fish in the scene...'lol'! This woman also gives 'birth' underwater.....it's quite a spectacular movie.....
DaVinci....you should see the movie...it's awesome! :)
'Yep', you're right Tony.....Mel Gibson directed the movie....
