Me drawing Barack Hussein Obama

READ FOR INFORMATION
I wanted to challenge myself this time and as I never drew any black or coloured person I thought time was right to get a try. And it worked out I really think ;-)! As you may see I had some problems in the beginning to find the right skincolour and so he starts to look like a carrot-man xD. Pretty funny I guess :-P. But that´s the challenge I liked to have and I´m happy I found somewhat that matches his colour better at the end.
Barack Hussein Obama is really a man I admire and I think he´ll do some great things for the US (be proud you got such a president^^).
However.. I used Marie´s Pastels, a black and a white marker and some various pencil types (nothing special really). It took me 4:20 hours to finish him (almost the same like my last picture). Again there are some troubles with the light and I´m awfully sorry for that!
Still I like to thank all of you for your great comments! Keep it up and I´ll do, too :-D

I actually think the shines on the forehead look a little unrealistic. But this is truly incredible. :)

Seriously you have unbelievable talent.

I still envy your amazing skills. You should send it in to him! I know the cost to send it would be big but think of the look on his face!

Obama: O w O

Great suggestion xD I like the imagination :P

[SharksIncorporated]

btw if you want someone to blame for having kept our troops in Iraq for so long, please blame Bush. Hes the White House's first retarded President...

[csuflasher]

thats his name

[cheata91]

obama is an asshole but nice job on the drawing.

[sk8er485]

what is with everyone blaming bush....HE IS NOT IN THE WHITEHOUSE ANYMORE!!!!!..... get that through your monkey skull, what has happened since obama has been is in office IS Obama's fault. If it wasn't then shouldn't we be in less debt if he is HELPING us?

@draggt03 You know what i'm not clueless! And I bet your just as ignorant! You know what lets just drop this, you dont like him, I do. Who cares, we all have opinions.

[draggt03]

@Midnightjuliet0811 He does not know jack. Have you not seen the election in November? The people have woken up and seen the truth of the piece of trash he is. If he gets re-elected its only because either people are still stupid or a set up in the ballot just like some of the previous presidents won. You are young and clueless. Sorry but look in between the lines and not empty promises that he keeps breaking and not full filling!

[Midnightjuliet0811]

@draggt03 FYI I'm 14 and yes im black. I dont like him just because he's black. I like him because I know hes going to do great things for our nation. And Barack Obama hasnt made are debt worse, hes started the health care reform, and soldiers from iraq are coming home nxt year, because he made an agreement with iraq to end the war. He's great for our country and im not just saying that as a black person, I'm saying that as a person who knows whats good for our nation.

[draggt03]

@Midnightjuliet0811 Really? What has he done for this country except only to make our national debt even worse? I see no improvement at all. How old are you 12? are you black? Just because hes black does not make him a great president.

[Midnightjuliet0811]

@cheata91 Shut up, George Bush just made the war worse. Barack Obama just sent a letter over to iraq to settle the war genious! He's a great president!

[Midnightjuliet0811]

@draggt03 Shut up!! He's a great president for your information
