Description Howdy!

One thing I have always had trouble with is capturing peoples likeness with my style. It's real hit or miss usually, and some faces just tend to lend themselves better to be 'cartoonised'...

Anyway, I agreed to take the Bob challenge and see what I could come up with. This is the result. I like it, and I think even though it isnt a great likeness, you can still have a good guess at who it is supposed to be. I call him Bob and I'm a fan.

This one goes out to

If you want one of my "sketches" for your collection you can find out how to order one here: [link]

These are some of the other Free sketches I have done recently:


More of these coming right up......you'll see!

Jon.

EDIT: I lightened his skin up just slightly as Bob was indeed a little lighter than I originally had him. Thanks for the suggestions!

I love it, the style reminds me so much of a Disney cartoon, I can't think up the cartoon's name right now.

Maybe it was something in the style era of the adventures down under or something.. I've been trying to figure it out too!

He looks a little evil...but overall, it's the best Bob Marley artwork I've seen on DeviantArt yet. It seems that many people rely on photos to draw Bob Marley. I understand why (Bob Marley is a difficult portrait to draw), but it's nice to see a drawing that isn't based off of an easily recognizable photo. Good job!

Wow! I got ripped pretty hard there. I can't believe so many people liked that version. Imagine if they saw the real thing. In any case, the kid knows who the real artist is
