Well that's unfortunate because personally, I instantly recognized him from the youtube video screenshot. | ||

Would have been cool if you had a timer for yourself though, like a sprint sketch. | ||

Excellent work as usual! THOSE are the words I was looking for haha. Yeah it's like....well, I guess that wraps it up, nice speed-drawing for sure! But he keeps on going and adding things you didn't even know were needed and it just gets better and better and better. It's ridiculous And yeah, I could instantly recognize it was Usain Bolt from the thumbnail too. Meh >.< | ||

Bolt gets like... a few hours of TV time every four years where his face is actually shown. Other than that people just talk about him, but his picture/face is not something commonly seen unless you search him out. Amazing work Glider. | ||

now heres the generalization: lots of people of a certain race think people from other races all look the same and i think that is the reason for why he cant tell. it shouldn't happen but it does. if its a bannable offense for pointing out the shortfalls of society than bring it on | ||

It is completely natural. Also why is it "people of a certain race"? Do you honestly think that phenomenon only occurs with people from one race? If so its you who is ignorant here. Btw I easily recognize Bolt in that portrait. But he does not have a facial expression that is typcial of him. I would have chosen something different to make it more Bolt like. He does not look as self confident / arrogant and nonchalant as he usually does. | ||

i see humans, not race. were all the same except for differences in evolution based on location and a number of other factors one being luck....but alot of cultures think that other races look the same to them and i am just pointing out my opinion that that is ignorant. demonstrated by derridas post. and yes it absolutely is a shortfall of society when i get a warning from the police to be on the lookout for a black man between 5'8" and 6'5" wearing jeans and a gray hoodie. thus giving the police the right to pull over any black man they want and josh just because we are imperfect why shouldnt we strive for better? just because we are naturally an awful species does not mean we should accept it, instead working towards bettering oursevlves and becoming more accepting and able to differentiate between people based on more than just their skin color. edit so as not to derail thread: kick ass drawing | ||
