Description
((download to see full version))HAH.
Okay, explanation. I always thought the idea of sticking your own character (or some other cartoon) in an ipod commercial was pretty cool. But the problem is, it's been done so many times. SO MANY TIMES. Come on, it was really neat for the first few, but now it's ridiculous.
And what's worse, everyone does them because they're easy to do. Just do a black outline of the top half of the character and slap them on a flat color background. You know what? LAME. They don't even do the commercials that way anymore.
SO I CREATED MY OWN iWHATEVER THAT ACTUALLY HAD SOME EFFORT PUT INTO IT!
If you haven't seen the new iPod commercials, I pitty you. [link] Enlighten yourself. (click the one on the left) Best commercial ever!
So I did my best to make my iMoofin in the style of that commercial. I know that the signature isn't very iPod-commercial-ish, but I just don't want anyone to steal it.
So yeah: Don't copy, post elsewhere, edit, or use this picture to make other graphics. IT'S MINE.

Do I sound hypocritical? What I really meant was, most of the iWhatever pictures suck, so I was trying to make a non-suck one. There.
...and I'm wearing headphones 'cause Moofin don't like earbuds. YAY BOSE.

..okay then. You know what helps to learn how to draw? Draw cartoons upside down. Like, turn the picture upside down, and draw it that way. That way, you aren't thinking about what it's supposed to be, instead, you just think about where each line is supposed to go. I did that several times when I was just starting, and it helps a LOT. It also helps loads to sketch too, in case you aren't doing that.

I hope it helps. You really have to do it several times before you get better (depending on who you are, some become really good at things a hell of a lot faster than others) but it will help.

I love the song on that commercial. I wanna get it now. This looks super sexy on the laptop screen (that means you did awsome on the coloring.)

XDD Shweet! Glad you like it ;D I almost got the song, but then I realized I like the commercial more for the peoplez dancing than the song itself! XD And you can't get the whole album from iTunes yet anyway...
I have to ask, does it look really big on your screen? I realized not too long ago that my screen is actually way bigger than most peoples'...and so what looks like a reasonable size to me is way huge to everyone else. I've been trying to make my pictures smaller now, but I'm not sure how small they need to be.

Oh yeah! It fits my screen just fine. No cutting off, or pixelization!

shweet, that's great. I was looking at my Auron wolf picture a while back on a PC screen, and it was freakin' HUGE...it just cuts off a little bit on my computer screen...so yeah. And a lot of my other pictures looked huge too.
