Artist's Comments

He was in the news, and I've always had a certain amount of respect for him, probably because he's the only world leader with a consistently kickass beard.

I'd like to start paint actual people, with actual paint. But I'd like to do alot of things.

He has one of those "huhhhh!?" expressions.

The transparent colors make me kind of paranod though, for some reason. I always use very saturated and opaque colors or I get oddeyeball-ey. I need to work more with layers, but the process weirds me out. You're clearly better at it than me, but still I gets the oddjitters.

great expression. I love how your portraits details seem to make more sense at a distance and less when you get closer and closer. that IS an amazing beard

Most of my stuff looks better when its smaller. Detail on realism, or even my doodling, gets boring too fast most of the time.

It was the only picture of him I could find where he wasn't looking outwardly badass; I was hoping I could somehow get his badassness across without having to exagerate the beard or draw some tattoos or something. I had to crop out Hugo Chavez, who is probably my second favorite Latin Amerian leader, but wtf? no beard? Come on, who's going to take him seriously? Not me, I'm not going to paint his picture anyway.

Layers let me cop out on detail, its all something I need to work on; especially realism. I need to learn to actually draw properly.

thanks for checking it out holmes.

I love his expression. XD
Reminds me of an assignment my friend did in Computer Graphics class where he had to make a magazine cover. It basically made fun of our one friend whom we always called a Communist, and he threw Fidel and Mao in there just for the hell of it. It was awesome.
