Hey guys, it's been awhile since I've posted a piece on Pixelation. This is actually a remake of an old george bush pixel version piece I made.

I can't say that I can see the resemblance.
-
looks more like Steve Martin. Bush's face is much rounder, and shorter. I think that a good reference is what yah need.

Yea, I'm not reading Bush either to be honest.
-
I agree with the others about no resemblence. Look at some political cartoons, they overexagerate his monkey like face. So, make him more monkey like!
-
anyway, hair rules a lot ^^ but it doesn't read
-
Thanks guys. Idea with the monkey is a good one, I'll be sure to use it :).
-
You best, it would make it ace.

Ironically enough, I think the portrait is reading as John Kerry... :p
-
I read it as John Kerry, as well! I just couldn't remember his name.
One thing you really need to do when drawing real-life people is rely heavily on references. At least until you start to learn how to draw the person in question. Until then, I'd suggest you look at a reference for pretty much every pixel you put down on a portrait that size. Maybe I'm just saying that because I suck at drawing people, but references do always help a lot.

Thanks, yesterday I was kinda lazy I didn't wanted to use any references. Just thinking of a cartoon version of him so I did this.
-
nice work, but its definitely not george bush

Yeah most portraits without a reference, you will not end up with much of a likeness.. But, it does look like John Kerry..so just say you were doing a portrait of John Kerry, and you'll be fine :crazy:

I think it looks more like Glenn Robbins:
