This is the first drawing I ever took seriously, done in mid-2008. Looking back, I can't help but cringe. I didn't use a grid system, so it's somewhat lopsided, especially the ears. On the other hand, I measured it afterwords and found that its dimensions were exactly 50% greater than the original picture, which was the cover to a Sports Illustrated magazine completely dedicated to him.

 

But it's Michael Phelps, so that automatically qualifies it as awesome.

 

Live long and prosper.

The smile was actually lopsided in the source picture. It irked me, because it meant that it would make the smile in the drawing look poorly done, but ah well. As for the teeth, they are the one part of the drawing that are indistinguishable from the original picture. I don't really see how they need work.

 

In my opinion, the hair was the worst part. If his hair was a little longer, then I could have made it look a bit more real, but because it was so short, the best I could do was just draw lines. Very frustrating.

 

Live long and prosper.
