George Bush Pixel Portrait

 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!

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.
