My Joker Drawing

I HAVE NO INTENTION IN ANY COPYRIGHT INFRAGMENT AND AM NOT THE OWNER OF THE MUSIC IN THIS VIDEO

Hi everyone, I've been at hard work on this drawing it took me forvever, lol, seriousy I dont think I ever have put so much effort and time into one single drawing, Heath Ledger gave everything he had to create the joker and boy was he amazing in The Dark Knight, I wanted to pay a tribute to him by making this portrait and I decided to draw it in colour for a change but still with pencils, I gave everything I had into this and I think turned out pretty sweet:D, I think I did like 12-15 hours on this drawing, I'm a really slow drawer, lol but that's because I want the drawing to be the best it can possibly be so I really hope you like this one, I'm sorry about the different lightning reflections in the video, just try to ignore that and see The Joker comes to life:)

P.S. I understand if some of you dont like the "why so serious" text, I thought it would look cool, but to be honest I kinda regret writing that so try to ignore that and just focus on the joker :D

Now draw him from a different angle. Copying a picture takes time and dedication but not much skills or talent. People might applaud but a real artist looks at it and thinks "meh...".

[loaded88]

copying a picture with the help from a grid or something like that is nothing special, anyone can do that, it doesnt require much skill or talent.

But I draw completely free handed and to get the results that I get - I know that takes a lot of talent and skill. I'm not being cocky, I'm usually very humble but i gotta to be honest to myself to be able to argue your statement because I think you're wrong.

I know several "real" artists who likes drawing portraits but are not on par with me.

[wildbloodydragon]

@loaded88 Oh by the way, my 16 year old sister was never even near what you can call an artist and she easily did a portrait of someone just like you did here.

I'm not trying to disappoint you. I'm telling you that you need to step your game up if you want to be an artist for real. If you're just fucking around and wasting time, be my guest. I draw much better than you even without reference pictures and I still don't have a snow-ball-chance-in-hell to make it. Now you do the math.

[loaded88]

@wildbloodydragon Look, I think you've misjudged me a bit, I'm not struggling and wrecking my brains on how to be an artist and making a living out of it, I know that chance is microscopic and I'm fine with that.

I draw portraits from pictures simply because I like it, it's a hobby and I'm getting better at it with every new portrait I do so obviously I'm not "fucking around and wasting time"

@wildbloodydragon - I'm developing in that area, maybe you can compare my joker drawing to my new muhammad ali and if you dont see the large improvement then you will be the first one to comment on that and that's why your opinion doesn't matter to me

[loaded88]

Why would I want to work my ass of trying to be a full time artist when pretty much anything can be called art these days, you can see a painting that looks a three year old made and the painting can be worth thousands of dollars just because the artist has made a name for himself, the appeal in art is mostly subjective, if not entirely.

@loaded88 u r quite amazing at what u do... i myself got a lot of help from this.... :)

[wildbloodydragon]

@loaded88 "and if you dont see the large improvement then you will be the first one to comment on that and that's why your opinion doesn't matter to me"

This sentence makes no sense.

Sure, beauty of art is subjective, but abilities are easily distinguishable. So it's not entirely subjective. And believe it or not, being able to draw well is important for a lot of jobs. From animation to industrial design.

Looks like it's just a hobby to you, and that's great. It's a fun hobby, so have fun.

[wildbloodydragon]

@MrBarbed That's normal. Different angles take some seriously good imagination and a lot of practice. I knew professional designers with degrees from big universities who challenged themselves to do different angles and often struggled to get it right.

whoa 

[DragonFire8745]

THIS IS INCREDIBLE! i wish i could draw like you

[wildbloodydragon]

@kaymo211 Yes I have, and it takes a lot of imagination and trial and error to get it right. But it's doable, even if you suck at drawing humans like I do.
