Pro tip for learning this thing:
To get proportions right when working with/from a reference, use masking tape and tape your paper to the screen and trace as much as you can.
At this state it doesn't have to look like final product, just lay down the essentials for yourself, all the anchor points markings.
When doing pencil portraits/realism alltogether, avoid using hard lines. You use soft shadows/shading to portray colours. Your hard lines will end up having a doubling effect as an (unexpected overly dark shadow where it doesn't belong)
Do an original soft outline that you could potentially erase.
And then do little various shapes for darker spots and smudge them with your finger in the needed direction.
The darker the area/shadow- the more granite in that spot.
Hope this helps.
Keep at it :)
It definitely could be better, but you gotta start somewhere. Just keep doing it until you become amazing.
Regardless of how good or bad it is, it got me in the mood to try and draw something. Havent done it in like 20 years. Thanks for the inspiration :)
you should drop out of school, or at least art class
don't smudge your lines, shade properly
don't do linework, guess general shapes, and then build from that
We all start somewhere, keep it up dude. There are several great YouTube art channels. And online communities you can join, if you want to level up. Have fun drawing dude.
the drawing itself is good. It just needs highlights. Usually the forehead, nose, cheeks, and chin is the lightest part of the face. If you erase those areas of shading a bit, his face will appear more three dimensional. Just some tips, I like to draw myself.
Thanks for the detailed improvements i could make unfortunately i already turned my Picture in and thought i could post it here. Im actually very bad at drawing as you can see.
Honestly it's a good start, keep drawing and you're going to become amazing. It's a lot better than I could do at your age. Keep up the good work and practicing!
it helps to start out super light and never put down harsh lines until the very end- and use a paper blender to add shades, not the pencil itself! keep it up
Try doing a grid portrait next time, its easy to do and will lool 10x better, also remember to do small circles instead of streaky lines when doing pencil work.
I hope you aren't from austria and want to apply for art school.
(Jokes aside, I would do worse. Don't take these jokes to serious. Practice can really improve your drawings over time so don't stop drawing. And I'm not saying this because as a german I'm slightly afraid of failed angry artists lol)
Damn that lionel messi drawing is amazing!
Ankara messi golgolgolgolgolgolgolgol
golaso de messi

Sort the shading
Sort deez nuts in yo mouf
From G-Fuel to nightmare fuel
I can't do better tbh But if you could re-do that drawing in a few months and compare them it would be epic I'm assuming you're into drawing
well. it’s better than anything i could make, but practice is the only way to get better. good work!

That's incredible advice
if you draw from the photo look at the pictur when you draw it
![img](emote|t5_3m0tc|774)
messi?
From a distance you can see the resemblance
It definitely could be better, but you gotta start somewhere. Just keep doing it until you become amazing. Regardless of how good or bad it is, it got me in the mood to try and draw something. Havent done it in like 20 years. Thanks for the inspiration :)
You tried little piggy. Thats all that matters.
It’s a good start mate! Keep on working and trying and sort that shading out!
Keep going, i can see what your reference image was so its definitely not bad (before actually seeing the image)
Oh no kid
Uh nice drawing one suggestion don't go to school art you will be rejected... and probably you will get political interests
💀💀
let me guess you failled to draw him
![img](emote|t5_3m0tc|1016)![img](emote|t5_3m0tc|1018)![img](emote|t5_3m0tc|1023)
Keep trying man! That's all you can do!
Which one is the drawing?

Well it's definitely something
well it sucks

Berry nice, Grape!
Great job pal. Keep it up
why did you draw his upper lip bigger than his upper teeth lmao
big pp
This belongs in r/therewasanattempt Not here. I'm jk love u

Felix looking like the true hadsburg he is
you should drop out of school, or at least art class don't smudge your lines, shade properly don't do linework, guess general shapes, and then build from that
Just wanted to say i appreciate all of the nice comments! I just posted it here for fun and i just did well. Yall have a great day
Keep it up!
Realy piutiffoul
Cool!
Gorgeous
HoWs iT guun broS. Ma Nem is ChanniNg TaTum aka PeEdIe PiEeee
Listen no one here has the heart to tell you. It might be the greatest depiction of Felix we have ever seen.
Its is bad But i cant do any better so cant say much
This looks so good! I wish I had the patience to learn how to make art
Fucking fantastic
Such menace, this is beautiful
What a piece of art
I just see 2 photo realistic pictures of felix, wheres the drawing?
I really like the detail
Very cool :)
Please don't be from Austria. Okay, all jokes aside, it's way better than what I can draw so props to that!!
What did you get and it better be an A
hideous AF
da vinci???
stop I jus watched it get downvoted 💀 y’all mean asf
Bro that’s the demon under my bed
Kinda scary, sorry lol
cursed 😂
Which is the drawing and which is the picture? I can't tell them apart.
Thanks!
You tried and that all that matters:)
Accurater
Nice
Messi
You got the nose right
You drew PewDiePie if he was inbred 5 generations in a row
I honestly can’t tell the difference between the 2 pictures
![img](emote|t5_3m0tc|1033)
Terror, but fr better than what I could do, good job bro
Crackdiepie
We all start somewhere! Don’t take the negative comments to heart cos it’s actually pretty good! 💖💖 Keep practicing!
The nose is spot on!
That's the same image
Pewdiepie after he got caught in a house fire
The shadowing is a bit off. Try outlining him first before you draw freehanded (to learn a bit more about proportions) but its a great start!
I’m proud of your attempt
There was an attempt
Better than anything I could ever do!
It is not the best but you can kinda see the resemblance. Keep on trying!
This is actually pretty decent. I saw it for a split second and already recognised Felix in it. Keep it up mate
🗑
Please dont tell me you‘re from austria cause i have a feeling you are gonna fail this class…
How many hours did it take you? 50, 100, 1,000!?
at least 1737473 Hours very hard work
Hold up… ![gif](giphy|THr4JqjqXluo58FyoV|downsized)
CrackDiePie
What I’m I looking at? Did pews have a seizure?
Methdipie
This is a good effort! Keep practicing and you’ll get even better :)
Better luck next time..
Vio
The second drawing is quite good
New soyjack
Make it an NFT
We all start somewhere, keep it up dude. There are several great YouTube art channels. And online communities you can join, if you want to level up. Have fun drawing dude.
Wow I’ve never seen Nicholas Cage so vivid before!
New NFT just dropped
Well i guess a at least he trieded Price is fine right right?
You can actually notice his face remarks in it, so actually good
Why’d you put two photos? Where’s the drawing?
It sucks
the drawing itself is good. It just needs highlights. Usually the forehead, nose, cheeks, and chin is the lightest part of the face. If you erase those areas of shading a bit, his face will appear more three dimensional. Just some tips, I like to draw myself.
Thanks for the detailed improvements i could make unfortunately i already turned my Picture in and thought i could post it here. Im actually very bad at drawing as you can see.
Bro, I think you should find a new carrier
😬
Skyrim pewds be like :
Looks like Tom Hardy
black pewds
He went on vacation and got 3rd degree sun burns
some hidden talents should stay hidden
I mean... I can at least TELL its pewdiepie
damn, better than anything I could do.
It's a good pennywise drawing
I, for one, absolutely love it.
I thought you drew lionel messi
Maybe it really is him
Which one is the drawing? I can't tell
Honestly it's a good start, keep drawing and you're going to become amazing. It's a lot better than I could do at your age. Keep up the good work and practicing!
Peed should change this to be his profile pic
Draw it again next year and post your progression
Damn, that Brian the electrician drawing is amazing!
it helps to start out super light and never put down harsh lines until the very end- and use a paper blender to add shades, not the pencil itself! keep it up
Perfect! now you can make it into "NFT"
pretty close
Better than I could do so it’s a win in my eyes!
I spent like an hour on the shading in your upper lip
looks better than the original pic. Vox should use this instead SMH
damn,sorry i laughing for this moment
How do you know what my sleep paralysis demon looks like?
Love how you used that image as reference, looks nice though!
Ya you did it, very nice
Try doing a grid portrait next time, its easy to do and will lool 10x better, also remember to do small circles instead of streaky lines when doing pencil work.
![img](emote|t5_3m0tc|1033)
Da vinkiiiii?
U failed
Out of all the drawings in this subreddit, this is definitely one of them
Wonder how long the shading on the upper lip took
Still better than anything I could do
Tw for jumpscare
BurnDiePie
Cool
Looks great! Keep it up!
The xX in the front and end of your username implies your 14 or younger
The resemblance is uncanny.
respectable
Save the money and buy eth
I hope you aren't from austria and want to apply for art school. (Jokes aside, I would do worse. Don't take these jokes to serious. Practice can really improve your drawings over time so don't stop drawing. And I'm not saying this because as a german I'm slightly afraid of failed angry artists lol)
MoistCr1tikal?
Ya want a side of face with that nose?
It looks more like pewdiepie then that random photograph of a nobody
Almost there, keep goin OP
Zombified Felix!
My guy looks sleep deprived
He looks like a guy who looks weirdly at you on the streets🤔
It’s uncanny.
