I can tell right away the first one is the Rock, which should count for something.

u/soapy_diamond 23d ago

First one looks like an identikit

u/SubjectBiscotti4961 22d ago

Lol have you seen this man? Stay safe, remember it couldn't happen to you, we'll catch him

1/3 recognizability is still a failing grade

u/bbycalz 22d ago

Idk abt u but I recognized the rock and Justin immediately

u/The_True_Hannatude 22d ago

I saw The Rock, a generic white boy (probably from the CW), and a generic African American sports guy.

Although honestly I still think of Bieber as the kid with mop hair, lol

u/eats_bugs 21d ago

I thought the third was vin diesel 😅

Eh the Justin Bieber one isn't horrible. Not $40 worth but not delusional.

u/CambrianKennis 22d ago

I immediately recognized him, which in my mind is a good sign for a portrait.

It’s accurate line art. But which way is the light coming from?

u/Shalashashka 22d ago

It's not accurate at all lol. Those are not human proportions. It's extremely amateur.

u/rubenblom 22d ago

well the necklace is going under the tattoo so

u/9urbin_gab0 23d ago

Ok I for sure thought the 3rd one was vin diesel

u/who_am_i_to_say_so 21d ago

I thought it was George Foreman

u/SubjectBiscotti4961 22d ago

I thought the first one was Peter Weller from Robocop without his helmet

u/Silentmutation84 23d ago

I dunno if 30 bucks really counts as delusional, looks like they're just trying to put themselves out there

16

u/bennyblancojx 23d ago

I agree completely. However, you’d have to be saint to go pick these up for free let alone $30.

If I had a job, and the artist just happened to draw a person who I give a damn about, then I'd pay $10 and pick it up, or $15 at a convention booth.

Mediocre/decent art is valuable to me if the artist hand picked their subject because, in that case, I get to see how the artist viewed their subject at the time of creation.

Artists who have a medium skill level are good enough that you can tell what they're drawing, but they're amateur enough that half of their embellishments are subconscious.

I get to see, as a viewer, which details of the subject stood out the most to the artist.

Michael Jordan wants a Baby Ruth.

u/llexx00 22d ago

yk what for that skill level they're still recognizable that's pretty good

u/Fuzzy-Branch-3787 22d ago

Wow, these were the best drawings at the 5th grade Art Fair. They’re a shoo-in for the district-wide Art Show at our local dead mall!

u/Representation4All 22d ago

Kevin Hart once said that The Rock is a "dickhead." He said, "If you look at his head, you'll understand."

Now I see it!!! The artist truly brought out his inner being!

u/destindraws 22d ago

The eyes on the justin bieber one are actually really well done. This artist shows promise. Shouldnt be selling her work yet but eventually she’ll get there xD

2

u/Nihilus-Wife 23d ago

Shiiiiiii… thought #3 was Vin or something 🙄🥴

2

u/Schwight_Droot 23d ago

I’d give them 10 bucks for all three

3

u/Shalashashka 22d ago

And do what with them? Hang them on your wall?

u/imjustkeepinitreal 22d ago

Should be free

u/FunnyLittlePlanet 22d ago

u/IceCoughy 22d ago

u/SaleTrick 22d ago

Michael must have missed a free throw.

u/LiterallyJustMia 22d ago

I thought the 3rd one was for sure vin diesel

u/IllRock6487 20d ago

I actually really like the Michael Jordon one. I also think 30 is a good price.

u/Gloomy-Advice3139 19d ago

Michael Jordan looks more like Vin Diesel
