But the notion that I have "strong features" is just a total lie, no offence. When I used to smoke and I bought cigarettes, the same cashiers would ask me for papers all the time, sometimes several times a week. Simply because my appearance is so 'average' that 10 seconds after I have interacted with a person, they have already forgotten that I was ever there. There are always those people whose face you kinda recognize, but you can't put a name on them. I'm that guy. That's why I took the mohawk. So that there would be something that separates me from the surroundings. Something that the human memory formation system can actually utilize to register human interactions into memory.
I could be a super spy. When a teacher does a role call for the class, and checks all 20 students to be present by calling each one by name, and then visually counts the people in the classroom, he gets the result: 19. When there is a nice offer for a case of beer for half price, one per household, I can get as many as I want, with consecutive visits, each time buying one case.
I briefly toyed with the idea of getting an undercut, but it was a massive decision for me to even get my straight fringe turned into a slight side fringe, so I'm not bold enough to do things like this with my hair.
There was this old show by James Cameron called "Dark Angel" -where there was a guy who was actually genetically engineered to have forgettable features. Sort of like a person whose appearance can't be registered into the human brain because it's too bland and boring. Even people who were looking for him couldn't recognize him in an empty room because he didn't stand out. It would be cool to be a supersoldier with no other strengths than absolute inconspicuousness.
I've never cared about what I look like. I don't buy clothes often so I'm way behind on any fads. I don't work out so I'm a scrawny skeleton. But I do have this hair just so that people would know who I am.
Okay, than "this looks handsome" to me!
No. Okay.
I love the way you draw wtih Paint!
I can't handle it, I would be happy if I could say "Hey guys, I know how to use Gimp- and it looks good!"
So- you do a really great job!
Can I ask you something?
How do you drw your pics? Do you make a quick sketch on paper and then you outline it in MS Paint? Or do you just doodle until you like your result
And the way of shading is great, too- looks interesting, but good!
I can't draw with Photoshop or Gimp at all. Everything just ends up being a smudgy mess. I like the systematic nature of Paint. As long as you plan ahead exactly what you're doing, it ends up the way you want.
Recently I have discovered that I can sketch a small version of, for example, a person, then enlarge it and trace the sketched outlines with lines. If I try to draw it in a big scale the proportions get messed up because Paint doesn't have a zoom out function. Oh, and I use a tablet to draw, so I don't need to scan sketches from paper. Before the tablet I sometimes did.
This picture probably isn't the best example of shading. I used a standard pen tool and only a few colors.
