Reddit Gets Drawn

2013-11-04T16:58:00.002-06:00

There's a subreddit called Reddit Gets Drawn where people post pictures of themselves and ask others to draw them. Some of the photos are unintentionally sublime and make for great sketch material.

"I'm not as pretty as you guys are, but its the only good single photo I had from army. Could you draw me? [Im the right one] by Drawrequiest"

"Is this photo of my cat worthy of being drawn? by coreyisthename"

Some preliminary sketches for a commissioned piece I'm working on.

Each sketch is around 2" x 3". I think doodles are just as beautiful if not more so than the final piece.
