Hello. I'm terrible at drawing. I'm very impatient with everything I do so things end up being...not very good.

Anyway, I was talking to someone from this board on aim and he says it doesn't look like Syd. I don't think it looks like the picture of Syd that I drew from...but it looks like another picture of him that I didn't draw from.
I don't think it looks like him...but I think it does. I'm very confused and I can't trust my own brain.

SO...

Does it look like him? Or not?

Anyone have any random suggestions that I haven't probably heard before?
Anyone have any drawings that they've done of Syd that they can share?

Anyone know a way that I can stop being so god damn impatient?
The most I usually spend on drawings is about an hour and a half. I can't just slow down and pay more attention to detail.

AND the picture's weird because I don't have a scanner I can use at the moment. I had to take a crappy picture of it. :(

And I just noticed that one of the eyebrows is lower than the other! Aaaaaah....
I give up drawing.

I think it looks a lot like him, just a little too femine. Almost what his sister might look like.

I'm female and i'm also used to drawing females so that might have something to do with it. I might be subconsciously making him more feminine in the drawing...

possibly... haha. I don't know. :Oo:

Well I've heard that when someone draws they subconciously make it look like them. Anyways, it's still an awesome drawing. You should do Gilmour next.

I gotta have a print of that kickass painting, I don't care if it's just a friggin' library scan copy on 8 x 11. Cryminey-out-loud, you've captured the young alter ego ME! God Bless You! We'll discuss your fee. Holy crap, if I's gay I'd do that dude, so help my poor soul... I'm a mess.:ghostface:

Really, "dyolf_knip," I gotta have a copy of that haunting likeness of the young Syd Barrett/Edgar A.P. But I's outta ink and there's 18 inches of friggin' snow here in Southern Illinois, and anyway my scanner wouldn't do your mastery justice. You draw fine, and I never had that knack to any extent. Do one with a black cat on his shoulder and you'll get the Poe alter ego people goin' wild like I already am. I have seen the face of God, and its name is Syd Poe ! :ghostface:
