HEY!

It's always more fun to draw real people rather then celebrities form magazines.

The idea: Post links or PM me pictures of yourselves. Give me a little while and I will draw you! Some will be protraits others may capture everything, some may even be stylized. Try to give me difficult pics with defined shadows, intresting possess, expressions and/or character.

PS. I am rather capricious so I never finish any of my pictures. If your wan't your pic touched up or if you wan't a beter quality scan - PM me.

Cheers.

pandafaye · 11-04-2005, 12:55 PM

What an opportunity! You are so talented... Would you do one of me?

serlindsipity · 11-04-2005, 01:21 PM

this sounds like a potentially awesome thread! can you post the original picture as well as your drawing next to each other please?

shesus · 11-04-2005, 03:05 PM

Mantus, how could I not let you post that wonderful artwork? I always say it's a shame to keep talent hidden. Again, I'm flattered and it is awesome.

I can't wait to see more of your drawings of TFPers!

Mantus · 11-06-2005, 07:20 PM

Hey guys!

Wow, the responce has been great, thank you for all your support.

This was a really good idea as it keeps me drawing, something I haven't done for a very long time. I am trying for one pic every three days.

Here is an update with flyman and amonkie. I did no justice to amonkie's gorgeous smile but I had to try, perhaps another time

Cheers

Fly · 11-07-2005, 03:21 AM

Excellent work Mantus - I envy your casual and yet so effective hand in the pencil work

... and I love the idea of the fly sandwich too

cellophanedeity · 11-07-2005, 01:57 PM

This is brilliant. Fly looks just like Fly, amonkie just like amonkie, and of course, shesus just as shesus!

Wonderful! *anticipates self*

onodrim · 11-07-2005, 02:49 PM

Mantus, your work is truly wonderful! I feel like I should be paying you for this, but here's one of me if you have the time to do another.

Fly · 11-07-2005, 05:39 PM

Mantus........dude...........do the TFP women bro.

this is a great freakin' thread man.........been here along time,and i gotta say........so far,this one is too cool.

keep the beauty comin' baby............nicely done.

serlindsipity · 11-07-2005, 09:38 PM

looking good, you goign to stick with pencil or do other mediums as well? im curious what else you can do!

cinnles · 11-08-2005, 04:16 AM

Mantus, that's a brilliant idea.

Good to see you're making others happy with your talents too, you're like an artistic superhero!

Nancy · 11-08-2005, 05:34 AM

Amazing job with Shesus' eye, Mantus! *gets goosey all over*

Mantus · 11-09-2005, 12:03 AM

Thank you tecoyah! This will certainly encourage me to keep my commitment to you guys.

I am glad you people are enjoying this.

Probably not. My oils are packed away somewhere and I havent touched pastels in more then a decade. Pencil is quick, which serves my purpose of working on my technique and keeping my output up.

And now for an update with cellophanedeity! I haven't finished it, but it's all I'll be able to do till the weekend.

Cheers!

FngKestrel · 11-09-2005, 12:20 AM

More amazing work Mantus. Photographic realism with an artistic touch that gives it more life than a photo could.

cellophanedeity · 11-09-2005, 03:06 PM

Wow!!

Thank you Mantus! You made it look just like me, except more flattering!

Thank you!

K-Wise · 11-09-2005, 06:17 PM

Wow those are excellent man. Just really well done. I can't wait to see who you draw next. Take care man.

Asta!!

Wow, fantastic stuff. I'm envious of your talent. You do seriously good work.

Warf Rat · 11-11-2005, 06:38 PM

Mantus,

Thank you for sharing your increadable talent.

If you get bored with beautiful poeple, I'll be happy to send you pic of me. Otherwise I will keep checking in, to see your updates.

Mantus · 11-12-2005, 09:45 PM

Finally an update!

I've been working my ass off and got sick...so my muse has been beaten down by fatigue, medicine or both. Yet here is the newest addition to our colection: Johnny Pyro. This was a great study for me, he's got allot of personality and facial hair - which I have very little experience with. Hope I did him some justice.

I am sorry that I leve these sketches unfinished. I am rather capricious.

As always thanks for the kind words.

Cheers!

Johnny Pyro · 11-12-2005, 10:15 PM

Mantus · 11-17-2005, 04:28 PM

Update time at last. I give you Warf Rat...bah! I messed up on his eyes...ah well. I've been so busy, so pardon my lack of progress. I'll try to catch up tonight and hopefully I can finish up onodrim or pandafaye as well.

Cheers!

Mantus, I am so happy to see the growth that this thread took. You are truly amazing. It's nice how you can capture the person from a photograph. I lost this thread for awhile so thank to Tec for making it a sticky.

I look forward to seeing your other works when you get them finished.

Please keep up the hard work, I will keep checking in to see the rest of the gang.

BigBen · 11-25-2005, 10:34 AM

It is times like these that I have a renewed sense of humanity.

Absolutely incredible. How many ways can I say it, other than that? Cello's Avatar got me to this thread, and I still have a lump in my throat from seeing your work. Good lump, like when you see the person you love from a long distance, and you want to tell them how beautiful they are, but they aren't close enough to hear anyway, and it doesn't matter because there aren't any words to describe it.

I am tempted to find a photo that you could draw. I always wanted a B&W pencil sketch of my buddies and I. I have seen work done like that, and it is my favorite medium for portraits.

I have an impossible self-critical image. My uniform is wrinkled in some photos, my beret is kind of goofy in another. My face looks like I weigh a thousand pounds at that angle, that photo I look like a sun-fucked onion.

What does it say about me when almost half of the photos taken I am shit-faced drunk?

Gilda · 11-25-2005, 10:54 AM

Here's one with short hair, and one with long. If you at some point get some time, pick whichever you like better for the drawing.

Gilda

Toaster126 · 11-25-2005, 11:55 AM

Mantus, your work is incredible. I am especially amazed at the eyes of your subjects and how you captured them perfectly. Keep up the good work.

Mantus · 11-25-2005, 11:39 PM

Hey good people!

I am being bad. I haven't touch my sketchbook in a week. So I got to work today and got some results...I hope.

Smooth's beautiful girl, lusciousmunkee.

It was a fun project, though very hard. The smaller the face, the harder it is to capture a persons look because you have fewer lines to work with.

Once again, thank you so much for all your support, it keeps me drawing.

Hopefully, I'll be back to post more tomorrow.

Cheers.

[update]

Heh, insomnia can be a good thing. Wanted to do something fun. If Onodrim was a cartoon

sadistikdreams · 11-26-2005, 12:47 AM

Wowie. Those are impressive.

Um... Do you think you could maybe do one of me? Maybe possibly?
But it's going to be awhile until I get you the pic.

Mantus · 11-26-2005, 07:38 PM

As promised, an update today. Though I cheated by doing an experiment. Drew Pandafaye in 30 min! Not bad I think.

pandafaye · 11-26-2005, 07:54 PM
