[bmxcristian6]

[18BRSA18]

thats fucking good man!!

[horyo]

I dunno why people are saying it's fake; it looks pretty spot on to me.

[thekingofdefford]

haha That guy was just one of those people who loves to mess with youtubers for no reason really. Thanks.

[horyo]

Oh. Well I think you're a great artist. I'm still learning my stuff so my realism attempts aren't as accurate.

And we're learning value in our class right now. I'm so jealous that you draw so well though D:

[medstu56]

don't point out the splinter in my eye when you have a beam in yours

[thekingofdefford]

HAhaaaaaa so what's fake about it then?

[medstu56]

fake

[thekingofdefford]

Haha so are your eyes.

[seahorse19007]

Like the song who sings it.

[thekingofdefford]

Its morcheeba: by the sea (remix)

[MiztressPlunderBunny]

ok, it must not like me posting a link in the comments. How do I direct you toward the right site to go to?

[thekingofdefford]

Go onto my main channel page and there on the left you can click send user a message and you can write it in there..

[thekingofdefford]

25th May by my calculations... this year.. HAhaha a Thorpe peice... you never know one may appear in the future haha..

[MiztressPlunderBunny]

If you need a good visual, I can supply it. Or at least point you in the general direction of where to get it.

[thekingofdefford]

Feel free :D

[MiztressPlunderBunny]

Wow. LOL, it's actually funny that I even found this vid. I was on a forum and someone linked to a vid of Michael and Ryan talking to Mo Rocca and this was in the sidebar of related vids and I was curious, so I clicked on it. It was an intriguing four minutes and some odd seconds.

[thekingofdefford]

HAha i always find it interesting to see where people find my videos :) Yeah take a look through my vids if you want some time.. theres a whole load of things lol..

[MiztressPlunderBunny]

I don't think I've added this to my favorites yet, but I TOTALLY should. Also, I think I'm gonna pimp it out to that forum I'm on. They would probably love this. I wonder if I should post it under fan art.

[thekingofdefford]

HAha cool :D ... post it anywhere you like.. hpana i am often on we have an art thread ..

[MiztressPlunderBunny]

When did you do the Phelps piece? What would I have to offer for a Thorpe piece? An arm? A leg? My torso??

[MiztressPlunderBunny]

Wow. That's incredible. How long did it take to do that piece?

[thekingofdefford]

I always write how long it takes in the side bar :) .. this one was 1 hour and 5 mins.

[MiztressPlunderBunny]

Ah. I missed that somehow. What's the longest a sketch has taken you?

[thekingofdefford]

It was the harry potter trio or a doctor who one,, but i know the hp one was over 3 hours....

[fontario4]

Wow that's amazing

[poltergeistmage]

Pretty much the most amazing thing ever. You're really talented. Keep up the good work.

[eatsleepswim4life]

wow. thats waaayyyyy better then mine. lol great job! :]

[vballplayer421]

daang.... you are good. i tried to draw a picture of him swimming but i just can't get the water right... so i just settled for a pic of him stretching :)

[thekingofdefford]

HAha thanks, Yeah water was tricky... nice to have a comment like that after the hater above lol

[laxrox31]

amazing drawing

[hackedbg]

WAY too dark, looks like a mountain with a head carved in the middle of it

[thekingofdefford]

HAha thanks for that.. made me crack up with laughter. I wanna see you do better then :p

[hackedbg]

I dont need to, you on the other hand should if you ever want to improve!

[nickoleee3]

thats a great picture.

fantastic, impossible ....brilliant

[kiyoshi85]

what pencils do you use?

[thekingofdefford]

Derwent are the brand i use. 2b for the base etc.... and then from 6b and 8b for the dark shaded parts.

[thekingofdefford]

Oh but i also used some accrylic paint on this one to get some white blobs for spray effect for the water...

[tiagoguna]

just perfect

congratulations!!!

[thekingofdefford]

Thank youuu :D

[vadi33]

great job

woow.

[MapleTreeOfKnowledge]

:P

I've got to say, if I could draw like this I would be drawing picture of loads of well know people and selling them on Ebay!!! Though, truthfully, given who I cam I'd probably be way to fond of my drawings to do so...

[thekingofdefford]

HAha yeah Mr Maple. I shall probably sell some, i can sell my paintings more easily... as i don't feel such attachment to them... but ooo giving away my drawings.. tricky...

[MapleTreeOfKnowledge]

Indeed!

[animaguspadfoot]

that is the opposite for me i can give away my drawing easy but my paintings YIKES

[lavenderdays]

you captured the emotion perfectly i think!

great drawing

[thekingofdefford]

Thank you :)

[Songbird122]

my first reaction was "wowza!".. the technique you used to draw the water was right on target, it looks very real.. amazing job :)

[thekingofdefford]

Thanks ... the water was a nice challenge to try out.
