No, not bad at all. Is it a scanned image or did you draw it on a computer? That arm breaking ordeal sounded painful... Smile

Drew it free-hand using the GIMP. Finished another a while ago.

Now working on a self-portrait.


Edit: Hey, who put the sun glaring off my head? ^^

- nice one, volkan - instant personalized avatar
- heck, you must have a steady hand..
- you've modelled the ear and eyes really nicely..
- now all you need to add is some fleshtone on the white bits..
- did you use a tablet, or was that just with the mouse..??

- I'd have used a pencil and paper, and then put it thru a scanner
- but that's cheating, I guess..!! Smile

All images were drawn with mouse only using the GIMP. Lots of erasing and re-doing to get it where I wanted it. I like the way the ears turned out also, but not as pleased with the eyes. As I practice more hope to improve skills with "mouse drawing" though.

I can't upload it as my new avatar here. (Something not quite right with the image uploading system) But use it for my new avatar elsewhere.

Edit: Saw the problem while reading site issues. New avatar is here.
