Official portraits of the Obamas revealed

. Or at least, the portrait of Barack Obama. I'm not sure who she is meant to be. Why does it look nothing like Michelle? Why do both pictures look like they've been washed out by the sun? |
what a load of sh1te
fire the artist |
Yeah the Michelle one is pretty terrible, at least with Baracks you can tell it's him. It's a shame because aside from it not looking anything like her it's a really nice picture :laugh:

Michelle's portrait is a complete miss... I think they may have been following too closely the typical female face, because you can tell it's from learned facial dimensions and not actually considering the actual placement of her facial features. I don't think they intended it, but it happens, especially when you're not paying that much attention and you're working too fast and end up injecting learned habits of drawing feminine faces "from scratch"...
They did manage to catch her figure OK. Her head doesn't look correct proportionally, but it may just look like that because they got her facial shape wrong... Accuracy aside, it's not a "bad" painting, it looks quite good compositionally... though I'm not really a fan of the muted colors or the "greyish" skin-tone. (edit) I think our first art group project will be painting over their portraits and "fixing" them :laugh: That could be too fun... |

Baracks is alright. Michelle’s is GCSE Art
|
Barack himself looks okay, but what's going on with the background? The artist went to the effort of having foliage overlapping the chair, but why is there no ground? Why is the chair floating?

Sis, what did they do to you?

..haha, that’s perfect, Maru..:laugh:...I think the Simpsons image I would attach to Michelle’s portrait...would be the one of Abe, putting his hat on and backing out of the door he has just walked through to enter...uh oh, no goodbye..that’s not me at all..good day and good night...
|
Who cares....yesterdays news.

This is a better portrait and, to be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if Obama was flattered by it.
