I finally finished this today, I've been working on it for awhile. Hope everyone likes. :)

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. I thought it was a picture at first, it was so realistic! Wow...I don't know how you did that! :D I'm rambling now, sorry...

Anyhow, I'm sure Elliott would love it! :) GO SHELLBEN! :cheerleader:

That is AMAZING! WOW, just wow. :woohoo:

DANG! THAT'S SOOOOO GOOD!

Awesome! That should be the E-Train t-shirt.

What did you use charcoal, oils?

that's REALLY awesome!! :D

That's excellent

OMG THATS INCREDIBLE!! Someone has got to get that pic to mama yamin AND ELLIOTT himself! im sure they would both LOVE to see it!

Your amazing!!

That is absolutely incredible! I'm in awe!

i agree! hehe
great work :thumbsup:

How long did that take you?!?

So cool! :cheerleader:

It's beautiful! You need to send Elliot a copy.

Here, here: that's what I want to know too.

Very nice. :rocker:

ETA: The Angsty Banner-Makers are hard at work, I see, taking out their nervous energy on other endeavors. :D I thought I was all slick working on a portrait, too, but I'm doing it in Photoshop, so... big whoop.

ETAA:

Thanks! It's from my own video of Elliott's homecoming!

GraceStreet, I love your avatar. :wub:

I can't see it! : (

Wow, thanks so much guys, I really appreciate the compliments. :wub:

As for the media I used, this is actually a digital drawing. I used my wacom tablet, which I LOVE...because it means no messy hands. lol Only disadvantage to digital drawings is that I don't have an actual tangible original copy. I'm sure I can get a high quality print of it though.

It took me a couple weeks. I started after the night he sang "trouble", because I just fell in love with the pictures. I let it go for a while, and then got the urge to finish it today. There you have it!

That is incredible!! I wish I had talent like that!

you really need to send him a copy of that.

Wow, wonderful painting ShellBen, I sure wish Elliott could see that, you are very talented. :cheerleader: :bunny:

WOW! Great job! :rocker:

I want that drawing to come to life in my hands. :)

Wow, that's a awesome portrait. You have a talent. I'm sure if E saw it he would love it. That's just amazing.

You need to print that out on canvas paper...it will look like a painting.

that is incredible. You are very, very talented. Takes my breath away.

Shoot, I can't get my Wacom tablet to do that. (Of all programs, it has to go and be the buggiest for me in Photoshop and I don't know why -- that was $100 well-spent. :angry:) That's cool that it's digital: here I was thinking that I'd have to go learn another medium just to catch up up in here (I thought for all the world that it was oil pastels).

Anyway, another wholly redundant :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: atcha. ;)

Absolutely gorgeous! Thank you so much for sharing it.

WOW!!! That is really amazing. You are very talented!

One word:

AMAZING

No wait a sec, that word doesn't even describe it well enough.

This is so cool! you draw incredable...
I hope E gets to See it some day...He would totaly love it..

That is seriously amazing.

amazing! very well done. :) congrats on finishing it.

Wow! You drew that? That is beautiful! You've got to get a copy to Elliott!

Outstanding work!
:cheerleader: :banana: :elephant: :dude: :broccoli: :groupwave:

What TALENT you have, it's beautiful! That pic should be on green Tees for the Idol concerts

Absolutely fantastic drawing! You did Elliott proud. :)

Holy Crap! That is E-mazing! :cheerleader:

Really, really beautiful! :yes:

Someone needs to pass this on to Claudette! She would start crying again, I just know it!

Wonderful portrait! :D

Wow, that's frigging amazing. I wish I could draw. Are you going to send a copy (or the original) to Elliott?

Wow that is amazing!!!! :o I LOVE IT!
