Best friend you've never met?

[SmecksDotCom]

@PsychoRevolutionary yep... he's a super friend that i know from the online world only - never literally met him.. know what i mean? Therefore, he's the best friend I've never met.

[Grayhunter42]

[Natashabo920]

[DannyDiDon]

wow man ur fricking good with pastels how long did it take u to draw this? i wanna start doing some art work like this

[weefeatures]

wish i could do pastel drawings...

[ChandaraArt]

this is most incredible art on you tube!!!

[urestupid1992]

wow thats really cool, i like it

[SmecksDotCom]

Thanks much :) I appreciate your stopping by.

[Esteelauders]

I love drawing people because it helps a person draw more accurately; so that in other areas like scenery, animals, fashion etc. it would be more 'simpler' for them.

[urestupid1992]

how does he make the backround to these

[SmecksDotCom]

Well, rumor has it that SHE :) just scribbles down a bunch of color and smears the heck out of it...

[ghostcartoons]

very realistic, with expression, dig it !

[SmecksDotCom]

I think he was hungover whent that picture was taken....an honor to capture that moment for him. ☺

[wolfrost]

Resembles Nick Holmes of Paradise Lost!

[SmecksDotCom]

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

[micah14eva]

..............WOW

[MrsSmicks]

what's your average drawing time on these?

[SmecksDotCom]

Anywhere from an hour and a half to four hours normally. Recently I've been able to knock them out in under a couple hours.

[c9000c]

And now without an example, no live person, no photograph.

I hear you: "Oh bummer!"

[pedrofbs]

Hi, i'm glad you used a song from my band (fresh body shop) for this video=)

really impressive talent you have!!

cheers,

pedro (fbs)

[SmecksDotCom]

Oh sweet, how cool is this to get a comment from you? Love the music for sure!

[jayqueezy24]

you made people happy and shattered dreams at the same time!lol

[davyace]

i saw your drawings on your site and i like this one the most! You are awesome!

[SmecksDotCom]

I'm sorry it took me so long to respond davyace - but i really appreciate your kind words! Glad you like the art ☺

[corriecrow21]

duuuuude.

you make me wanna try pastel now..havent yet.

but now i will =]

[SmecksDotCom]

Dooooo it. Pastels are probably the most enjoyable medium I've worked with so far.

[stealurface1976]

you are so talented...i'm in awe of your skill...subscribed...everyone else should too

[SmecksDotCom]

☺ You rock! ☺ Thank you very much!

[SuperstarTradesman05]

Ahhh , it makes my art skills feel poor! :O

[SmecksDotCom]

Noooo... don't ever feel like that. Its all about the enjoyment of drawing, not in what other people think. And it really is true when they say art is subjective. People find beauty in different ways, so don't ever feel bad about the work you do.

[tulhaye]

omg tht cant b normal =O

wanna do that tooooooooo:(

dos anyone think anyone can do such stuff? :'((((

[F1ameAlchemist]

HE'S ALIVE!!! I wish I'll be at least half as good as you when I grow up.

[SmecksDotCom]

I myself have vowed to never grow up.

[Babyloveex3]

Geez, how do people learn to draw like this?

[tulhaye]

seriously :'((

[chalkANDcharcoal]

Nice pastel work. You do some really nice pieces. I enjoyed watching your vids. -Sketch

[SmecksDotCom]

Thanks - i watched your ballpoint pen / eyeball video.. very nice. I wish you'd get some more vids up!

[rick664ath]

O_O  wow...

[AngelZlayer]

Damn, how long did it take to draw that?

[planetvidscom]

That sure is one sexy dude ;)

[SmecksDotCom]

Isn't he though? :-)

[garycuk]

Your friend will LOVE it! x

[SmecksDotCom]

Thanks Gary! You know, I haven't even managed to catch up with him online yet, so he has yet to see it. Hopefully he won't be too hungover when he watches :P

[SmecksDotCom]

I knew I felt warm and fuzzy inside for a reason. :)

[dekj74]

Wow! You are awesome! You get 5 stars and the subscriber #200!!! :)

[SmecksDotCom]

Dekj, you know, I was actually waiting for lucky #200 to come along. Don't you feel like you should win a toaster or something? That is so cool that you noticed that! :)

[dekj74]

Yeah of course i noticed that. Can I have my toaster now?! Lol. You are a very talented artist. :)

[SmecksDotCom]

I'm on a tight budget, so I may only be able to send the toast as opposed to the toaster. Oh, and it's byob (bring your own butter). Sorry, but you know, the whole starving artist bit... :)

[LeSaMilano]

WOW! your friend came to life right before my eyes. You have an amazing gift.

Lesley :)

[SmecksDotCom]

Thanks Lesley, the kind words are much appreciated!

[Perroquet51]

I think this may be my favorite pastel so far. Beautiful, Mary

[SmecksDotCom]

Yeah, I like this one and Mr125's prior to this one. I think those two are my current faves.

[Mr125]

i just wanna comment that i was here :P

i like it and mary knows that

like the background :)

[SmecksDotCom]

Thanks my friend. The background did turn out pretty cool. I hadn't planned on going that dark but hated it real bright. It managed to work itself out in the end.

[flutterbies77]

Ah! And yet another masterpiece! Again I am in awe but I think this is absolutely perfect. Thanks so much!

Hugs,

Robyn

[SmecksDotCom]

Thanks Robyn! Hugs back atcha!

[YrUlUKkiNAtM34]

thats the closest to perfection in portrait art i've seen, 10/10, i wish i could draw in color.

[SmecksDotCom]

Thank you muchos :)

[SmecksDotCom]

Oh whoops, and I missed one of your questions. He's someone I have been friends with on the internet for many years now yet we have never met in person. He has helped me achieve things I would have never believed possible.

[Lunatik21]

Oh wow, its always nice to have good friends like that :)

[SmecksDotCom]

Yes most definitely. He is very selfless and that seems to be a very rare quality these days.

[SmecksDotCom]

Oh hey Lunatik :) I think the drawings are improving because I'm spending a lot (and i do mean a lot) more time on them... which is good and not so good. The song credit, i actually wised up and realized I needed to put it in the video itself (at the end) but now that I know people look in the description for it, I shall add it :)

[Lunatik21]

: D Wow you really are getting better with the pastels!

Curious to what you mean by best friend that you've never met lol

Also you forgot to put the song in the video description like I always notice you do ....n/m Im being weird lol anyway yet another wonderful drawing ^_^
