Drawing people I've never met...

Well, I very recently drew a picture of Mia Matsumiya, a member of the experimental metal band Kayo Dot, and model for David Mack's Kabuki graphic novel series. I drew the picture from a photo I saw on her Facebook page! This is the photo:


I decided to do this because I'd recently been to a Dr. Sketchy's and realised that I cannot draw, so I need some uber-serious practice! This is the end result:


I know it's not the best drawing I've ever done, but considering I haven't drawn properly in a while I think I did okay! Also, I was wondering whether or not to put it up on Facebook, so I asked Mia herself, (the wonders of technology) and she wanted to see it! So the next day, i put it up, waiting to hear screams from halfway around the world as people's eyes started to melt from looking at it, but what I got surprised me to no end! She said that she loved it! So much so, in fact, that she had set it as her desktop wallpaper! Well, as you can imagine, this made my day! Plus, later on I saw a DeLorean DMC-12 at a hand car wash near my house, but I can't put those photos on my computer yet, so you'll have to wait to see them!
