Sorry BI, but I donÂ’t believe you that thatÂ’s a pencil drawing. If you overlay it on the original, you see there is not the slightest difference (not just as in a really good, hand-drawn replicate, but simply as in a digital copy) in the shapes, and I was able to replicate the picture in GIMP almost exactly within 10 seconds: convert to greyscale?open "contrast&brightness"?move the sliders until you get the desired result?click OK dammit I allready did that, wanted to see what BI says before posting this. |

I don't own a computer and I'm terrible at Photoshop or Illustrator (I've said this since forever). I do all my posting from a phone anyways. But I digress, I forsee a long back and forth coming. So just forget I commented on this. |

You are sure you did not simply plagiarize someone elses work? The pic you posted has eery similarity and your origial does not look ike pencil work. It took me two months to do that and I've been taking art classes for years. If you don't believe me I can post a sketch of myself that I did? Edit - To be fair, I don't care for the "artful member" title (No offense to anyone of course). I just wanted to show a picture. Double Edit - That picture is not the original hand drawn image. The original is in a garbage dump somewhere. |

Well, what is it then? If this is not a hand-drawn picture, why did you state you did it with pencils, and why did you state you didnÂ’t even own a computer? That is not a pencil drawing, that far I can tell (since IÂ’ve seen a great many such drawings in my life). I would go as far as stating that a reproduction that? exact? would be close to impossible on paper. Again, IÂ’m sorry, but your story does not make sense to me. If you really produced that work, you surely can explain it to me as to do so. Also, feel free to post an actual pencil drawing of yours! |

I wish I had any capable artistic skills. But usually, when I draw Tigers, they look quite similar to by Bears, who look quite similar to my Dinosaurs.

I am not an amazing artist, I just recently started making skul reconstructions using MS Paint, and I also draw on paper. That's all I do.
