Background:
I drew this in 45minutes during math class which is why it is on graph paper. I'm not in any classes for drawing, or even an art class. Sure I doodle every so often but nothing seriously like this. I did not trace it, I DID draw it. It is a copy from the album Plastic Beach by the Gorillaz. It seems i'm only able to draw well, if i see it. I'm not able to draw off the top of my head, any tips on doing that?

Idk it's just a slogan haha! I really did have it as "Brute force" when i first thought about King Lemon, but then was like wait lets make this clever-er!

I realize its been a while since I last posted any drawings, I've been busy...so if I need to create a new thread I will...in the mean time i promised a self portrait and here it is:

If you really want to, you can tear it apart and say its horrible but tell me why so I can work on fixing it for my next portait

about an hour and a half stretched out over a week lol...
im getting better at drawing quicker...Before it would have taken twice as long, so i do feel somewhat accomplished! haha

Good picture little details
what do you mean by little details...i agree its not AS realistic as it could be (that'll come with time) or are you, like i feel many others have, just looking at the first drawing on the first page and commenting on that...

My recent project
Had to recreate a movie poster as best as you can, with yourself in it.
Everything was made in Photoshop, but the sign was created originally in Adobe Illustrator.
