So I haven't drawn anything in over six months now, and this is the first thing I've created that I'm at least somewhat happy with in a while. As I drew this though, I realised that I seriously need to buy some sketching pencils to use rather than 10 pence ones from the local garage/gas station, so I apologise for the dodgy pencil strokes. I also need to buy an eraser...

For once, I didn't actually copy this from a photo, but did it while I was watching the guy on TV because I'm pretty stupid like that. I struggled with the nose, hair and lips here, but seriously, this dude's lips are a pain in the butt to draw, especially when I'm using pencils that I swear have a nib with a diameter of 10 centimetres.

I won't say who this is because I desperately hope you can tell, otherwise I've clearly failed completely. :P

Very realistic....are you giving art lessons? :)

LOGAN LERMAN!
--------------------
I DIDN'T KNOW YOU COULD DRAW!

(Yes, this needed two headers; I couldn't choose. xD)

1. His (my) right eye has a little less definition than the left. Basically, I'd just like a sharper focus.

2. Same side eyebrow is thicker than the other. A little thinning out and reshaping and it's in ship shape.

3. His lips are a bit dodgy. Not too bad - the problem is in the lower one. It's much too thin. But fix that and it's looking good.

4. His nose is a bit big. Scale back on it and you're golden.

5. His face structure's a little off. His head looks like it's turned slightly to (my) left, but his face is staring straight. Move a few lines and that should be taken care of as well.

So, basically, this isn't perfect, but it's still really good. I don't really have much more to say, as I'm not really an artist (though, I'm trying to change that... >.>). But I could recognize him, so that's a good sign. =)

loveness, ultraviolet <3

P.S. This better be Logan Lerman or I'm going to look really stupid... >.>

ZOH MY GOD YOU'RE AMAZING!!
I'm impressed. You're... you're...
You're God.

Hahaha but seriously, how the heck did you do this without a stationary picture?! Bah. My mind is blown. Overall, definitely amazing! Haha I like the sketchiness of it.

I love the eyes. They look so... real-ish! :lol: the shape is perfect, too. The only nitpick I have, is that the mouth is awkwardly shaped, but I know from experience how much those darned lips are impossible to draw! Paha, so good job anyway ;P

And, it's so accurate, that even though you already told me who it was, I could tell right away! (like duh, what kind of obsessive fan would I be if I DIDN'T know who it was?! ;P)

Amazing what a little editing can do, eh? You may think that the edits didn't do much, but immediately I could see the difference - overall, this can across as a lot more streamlined, a lot more in proportion. Now, the nose still seems a little off to me, but really, I'm not sure what could make it better. I love how you changed the eyebrows/eyes; the eyes pop a lot more now. The lips are better too, now. The only thing I might say about them is the top lid on the (my) left side is a little bigger and less-defined than the right side. Nothing major, but once again, little things.

Overall, I really like this. I knew right away who it was (and I do even more now). It's a really nice picture, and a nice way back into drawing. =)

HELLO, GORGEOUS. =3 (I think I said that on your Facebook post as well...it bears repeating, anyway.)

Well, obviously I know who this is. I'm not one for reviewing art, so I'm sorry but I can't give you any critiques. However, I do think you need to send this to me so I can frame it and hang it up in my room and stare adoringly at it. :3

Great job, Skinsy! Keep up the fantastic work! ^_^

From the comments, this sounds amazing, it's a shame I can't see it. It just comes up with a white box with a cross. :/
I really want to see it- it sounds really good. Could you send it to me somehow? :/

Second Logan Lerman drawing I came across today! Gosh, I think I'm getting lucky! You drew him so perfect, period! He looks so cute as always. Did you use a photo of him? Or did you start from scratch? Either way, it's amazing! Amazing job and keep it up!

P.S. If you could, maybe you could draw more Logan? Just can't get enough of him! <3
