Woah! haha that's awesome Cindy! I love it. I don't know if it's the humor or the actual artistic ability that I like the most. I actually think this looks better than the original.

Maybe if you placed the eyes a bit lower on the face it would satisfy you...since the eyes are place half-way down the face anyways.

Man, I love this. Auto fav in my book

whoa, I just gotta say nice job on the hands! They're so sexy *O*

Ok that's weird, I'm sure I replied to this and the reply even showed up and now it's gone. Either I'm losing my head or something freaky is going on. I guess I'll just have to try again...

I think you're right that the eyes need to be moved down a tad, or the forehead up a tad or something, but that wasn't what was bothering me. I just would have preferred to better capture the expression of the original as that is what really made it famous to begin with I think. Unfortunately, I didn't know how to do that and still make it distinctly manga.

I'm glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the fav. I tried something different with the shading on this one. After the main colours were blocked in all the shading was done using airbrushing. I just had to airbrush the background and then I figured I might as well go all the way. I airbrushing.

So, any idea what I should do next? I'm thinking one of Picasso's funky cubist people might be a lark...

I agree with debs, definitely better than the original

To answer your question about the eyes- I don't believe it is the eyes at all so much as the chin Great work - hilarous but at the same time well done

I really don't know what you should do next though... I'm out of ideas.

Any suggestions on a nice drawing pad that won't break my poor wallet? I may get myself one sometime - or beg for it for a birthday coming up

You're totally awesome Cindy

I'm not a huge fan of Picasso myself, but im sure you can make me into one. You should mess around with some more DaVinci and see how that comes out.

Drawing pad? As in paper, or electronic?

I"m not a Picasso fan either. Not at all! But it's funny enough on it's own so a manga version might really crack me up
