It was really hard drawing after such a long time. I tried drawing this picture of Avril Lavigne first, but I just couldn't get her eyes right. All that eye shadow and under-eye detail combined with my rusty drawing skills made it impossible to draw. And when the eyes aren't drawn properly, the whole face looks weird. And that's exactly what happened.
Anyway, so after a lot of searching for easy images to draw, I ended up with this poster of Tom Cruise from Mission: Impossible 3. Wasn't as easy to draw as I thought it would be, but at least the end result bears some resemblance to the original.
And I wasn't done with just the drawing. I decided to load it up in Paint Shop Pro and add some CG effects to it. Coincidently, I happened to stumble across this open source fractal flame editor called Apophysis, so I used that to render the blue smoke background. I then colorized the drawing to a grayish-brown and added the text and M:I 3 logo. This is the final result —
By the way, I now use a 19" Samsung 932NW monitor, so expect more widescreen images from now on. After all, what's the point of making these when I can't use them as wallpaper?

Nice drawing! :) But I think that Tom Cruise looks a bit too angrier! :P
LOL... I think the eyes are smaller than they ought to be, as a result, he looks angry/sinister :)
Nice one! But the chin looks a little odd....hmm....i don't know how to explain ....:-(
Heh, nice one, and as you know, this drawing of yours inspired me to watch the movie again :)
Shreya ji -- Odd chin huh... maybe it doesn't look realistic/3d enough?
Kar -- Hehe yeah :)
not bad varun...i guess female sketches aeon flux kinds will suit u much better :P
Nice man!
I cant draw lathat n all... But I think the original has more tilt. The chin, like shreya said, is protruding and thats probably because you didn't get the right angle.
But whatever. If you draw hot hot people, they atleast turn out hot.
Rajeev -- Well yeah, I'm more comfy drawing stuff with clean lines I guess.
Poo -- LOL... thanks :)
