- holyskeleton, on 08/09/2008, -6/+78dugg for royalty free music that sounds pretty good.
- irfanmp, on 08/09/2008, -3/+20Agreed. That music sounded really good and went really well with the speed drawing.
- Diggelichous, on 08/10/2008, -2/+11Thank you for the compliments! its a great program for the ones who are interested in making music, but haven't got the time to master more known programs like Fruity loops (FL studio).
- Millsee, on 08/10/2008, -1/+2Ableton Live is a great program...
Fruityloops is cool though! :D
- dezholling, on 08/10/2008, -5/+4He's not drawing fast!!! They just sped up the video. Buried as inaccurate!
- davidaod, on 08/10/2008, -6/+3What? That's got to be the lamest music ever.
- belebih, on 08/10/2008, -0/+1The piano melody that starts at round 0:53 kinda reminded me Bizarre Love Triangle by New Order, or more like the cover that Frente did of that song. Not saying it's a rip or anything, just that I like that sort of vibe. Sounds decent, yeah.
- irfanmp, on 08/09/2008, -3/+20Agreed. That music sounded really good and went really well with the speed drawing.
- mpind176, on 08/09/2008, -8/+20brillant..

- MADWORLD4, on 08/09/2008, -10/+52Amazing talent you have there! Damn it, it was fun :) 20 hours!!! Drawing really take a long time... good thing you speeded up the process! I think this deserves a digg !
- o0dhacker0o, on 08/10/2008, -0/+1It is certainly a good thing it got speeded up.
- UrrbinLegind, on 08/10/2008, -0/+1slow watching not fun, speed good

- chestyle, on 08/09/2008, -6/+11Yeah, liked it too, kudos for the artist.
- Millsee, on 08/10/2008, -2/+1Kudos is a word that Steve Jobs would use, can anyone here give an alternative?
- nitesoIja, on 08/10/2008, -0/+2its funny because its not his idea, it was made by some other dude in cgi... which was way better anyways
- johnnywatkins, on 08/09/2008, -4/+7I agree. I do like the music. Nicely done.
- brainnovate, on 08/09/2008, -5/+6Wow thats awesome work!

- stispo, on 08/10/2008, -5/+6Very nice! Awesome!!
- cynicalbrit94, on 08/10/2008, -4/+14The drawing is excellent, and I want a light bulb like that. You could have it be battery powered, and will follow you around (little tracking device) and avoid walls with a system of lasers. When low on charge, It will walk back to its programmed plug socket. People, get inventing.
- Diggelichous, on 08/10/2008, -3/+6ahahaha excellent! thanks for the comment :)
- Klak, on 08/10/2008, -3/+3i think you might have missed the point

- lazycat, on 08/10/2008, -1/+23I am sure I saw this picture before.
- Diggelichous, on 08/10/2008, -1/+67Yes this is correct :)
In fact, the text I have written on Metacafe about the drawing also says this:
The image is originally created by a 3D artist called André Kutscherauer and is absolutely unique and highly creative. It’s a picture about self-fulfillment. “All our lifetime we aspire to get the ultimate self-fulfillment. But if we get there - the sense of life is gone. The way itself is the aim! Life is like the probe for a theatre play that never happens...” – he says.
but here on digg there wasn’t room for all that in the description. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to explain it though :) Hope people read this comment. I cannot take credit for the theme in this drawing, only for transforming it into traditional art my hand with a pencil :)- skatiN64, on 08/11/2008, -0/+1wow man
I think for a second there I forgot I was on digg =D
- skatiN64, on 08/11/2008, -0/+1wow man
- hawk3210, on 08/10/2008, -0/+1I've had it on my computer for some time now.
- Diggelichous, on 08/10/2008, -1/+67Yes this is correct :)
- xwater, on 08/10/2008, -28/+6***** you, two of my friends died drawing pictures

- noahgelman, on 08/10/2008, -3/+1how
- eggballs, on 08/10/2008, -23/+3Cool idea. Mediocre shading.
Yes, I can do better.- sys9five, on 08/10/2008, -0/+6Thank you captain arrogance.
- eggballs, on 08/10/2008, -8/+1s/b: Thank you, Captain Arrogance.
Ad hom attacks are weak. - Millsee, on 08/10/2008, -0/+4Right, go off and do something better, and post it here.
Watch this space everyone >.> - NinjaBull, on 08/10/2008, -1/+0Fight Fight Fight!
- Alegoo92, on 08/10/2008, -1/+2Only the best are important. And I don't believe you can do any better.
- eggballs, on 08/10/2008, -8/+1s/b: Thank you, Captain Arrogance.
- sys9five, on 08/10/2008, -0/+6Thank you captain arrogance.
- zarcu, on 08/10/2008, -1/+3Creative. Its cool how you did it in steps. You could have a few variations of the same picture.
- P1um, on 08/10/2008, -0/+12A 20 hour drawing is not a speed drawing, technically. But amazing I wish I had that kind of talent.
- Pusod, on 08/10/2008, -12/+1meh... just an average rendering... nothing to get excited about.
- JRjJ106, on 08/10/2008, -5/+5Thanks for telling me it was a good idea. I like when people make opinions for me.
- maximatron, on 08/10/2008, -1/+4Looks like Chibi-robo :)
- 1ncu3us, on 08/10/2008, -5/+108It's not an original image.. He just drew this
http://media.techeblog.com/images/robotarts_1.jpg- burden555, on 08/10/2008, -23/+1so he traced it?
- dodger2020, on 08/10/2008, -3/+2Your mother's a tracer!
- sildude, on 08/10/2008, -1/+5why do you think he traced it?
- Incomp3tnt, on 08/10/2008, -0/+1Hey, there's nothing wrong with that. Nobody likes a tracist.
- alpharaptor, on 08/10/2008, -1/+6thanks, i was waiting for someone to post the reference

http://www.ak3d.de/portfolio/MLR/Wall/paper37.jpg - africanboy23, on 08/10/2008, -2/+6original or not, doesn't stop me wishing i could draw like that...
- alpharaptor, on 08/10/2008, -1/+2convert to greyscale and spend 20 hours shading to match
- nmcphee, on 08/10/2008, -1/+13The OP mentioned this in a reply to a comment above:
"I am sure I saw this picture before."....
reply:
"Yes this is correct :)

I was thinking there was artistry and originality in this video, but now there's no originality, which is fine, the picture's still awesome.
- FatPig78, on 08/10/2008, -1/+1 Originality: F, Execution: A
- burden555, on 08/10/2008, -23/+1so he traced it?
- WNxArrakis, on 08/10/2008, -1/+26To be correct, its not a speed drawing. It's a sped up drawing. Speed drawing involves doing the best you can, and being creative about it, in the shortest timespan available - often 20 minutes to an hour.
Not that it's bad - just would confuse people if they started looking for 'speed drawing' on youtube.
Edit: Think of it like a Time Trial in a game. It's not perfection, it's speed. - werries, on 08/10/2008, -4/+11....butt plug?
- Hollowpoint, on 08/10/2008, -2/+1Buttttt Puuuhluggg.
- Lhakrots, on 08/10/2008, -14/+27dugg down, this isn't speed drawing, an original drawing, or anything. At best it's someone practicing their eye at copying an image.
- notmiya, on 08/10/2008, -0/+3Way to be a Debbie Downer
- circaxxxx, on 08/10/2008, -6/+0buried for the navy ad during the video.
- kujo740, on 08/10/2008, -3/+8What's with all these ads popping up in videos now?
- Nivardus, on 08/10/2008, -8/+3Ah, yes nothing quite like a speed drawing that took 20-hours, and is just a copy of a photo. Good job, loved the ads.
- Beevo, on 08/10/2008, -2/+5Why do these continue to be called Speed Drawing or Speed Painting? The description says "About the drawing: Over 20 hours of drawing!!!". Hardly what I'd call speed, it was just normal drawing sped up to make watching it less painful.
But other than the stupid label, the video was cool. The artist is talented and the concept cool. - jfries, on 08/10/2008, -0/+1He should have drawn a fluorescent light bulb instead - swirly, better for the environment, and saves money.
Still awesome though, and many props for the music. - PsychoDesigns, on 08/10/2008, -4/+7Too bad the idea it self is not original...
http://kutsche.deviantart.com/art/Selfillumination ...
Its pretty popular
Plus thats not speed drawing.. its time lapse.. speed drawing means it was originally drawn fast.. 20 hours is not fast...- Trigononamous, on 08/10/2008, -4/+3Beat me to it. I wish I could say "I never would have thought people would..." but hey, people steal things, copy things.
He still has to have some skill to draw it like that though, so kudos for that. - Hollowpoint, on 08/10/2008, -3/+5My god are you ***** retarded? Read the thing under the goddamn picture you turd gobbling cum dumpster.
- PsychoDesigns, on 08/10/2008, -0/+1So the ***** what? My comment is still valid. The guy is talented but its too bad the idea is not original..
- Hollowpoint, on 08/13/2008, -0/+1The idea was a pencil and paper representation of an existing picture, one might call that an original idea, what with nobody else having done it?
- PsychoDesigns, on 08/10/2008, -0/+1So the ***** what? My comment is still valid. The guy is talented but its too bad the idea is not original..
- Trigononamous, on 08/10/2008, -4/+3Beat me to it. I wish I could say "I never would have thought people would..." but hey, people steal things, copy things.
- DefaultGen, on 08/10/2008, -2/+5I suspect this video was sped up.
- africanboy23, on 08/10/2008, -0/+0hmm... now that you mention it...
- hawk3210, on 08/10/2008, -0/+2I don't know man. Doesn't look to be sped up to me...
- nimbletimble, on 08/10/2008, -0/+1This does for speed drawing what airwolf did for speed helicopters
- Nicoon, on 08/10/2008, -0/+1Speed drawing? or sped up video of drawing?
- RoboCafaz, on 08/10/2008, -0/+1That doesn't look like Mr. Skullhead.
- theadvinci, on 08/10/2008, -0/+1This guy has some drawing skills... Never used the rubber. I would have surely done some mistakes.
- andrewa, on 08/10/2008, -0/+0Many mistakes are made due to not using a rubber.
- blackpool59, on 08/10/2008, -1/+0great!
- AudiaGirl, on 08/10/2008, -1/+1Although its not an original image, the guy still deserves some credit for a really good drawing. There's nothing wrong with using a reference.
Heck, if I were asked to draw that, the best I could do would be a big circle and some sticks. - thebestever, on 08/10/2008, -2/+2inspirational
- kylerk, on 08/10/2008, -2/+6I can't give this guy any credit for what he is doing. Yes, it takes hours and hours to be a human photocopier and make these images, but without giving any credit to the original artist who made the original image, this is cut and dry plagiarism.
Please stop congratulating and applauding this type of practice.
There is a fine line in art between copying someones work and being inspired by there work. I think the moment that "The-Artist" simply copied the underlying idea of the original work, he crossed that line. He didn't express himself with this art, just re-expressed the ideas of the original artist.
And before anyone can call me out for being a pretentious art student: I am a pretentious art student.- Peter89, on 08/10/2008, -0/+1No props for at least having the skill to recreate the image exactly?
- tmccool, on 08/10/2008, -0/+1as an art student, you're telling me that you've never gone to your local museum and drawn from any of the sculptures in it? what kind of an art school do you go to? the person in this video is copying to exercise his drawing skill... its the same concept whether you are drawing from the old masters or from a more recent 3D artist. this guy found a picture he liked, and then he drew it with accuracy. he doesn't have to create his own stuff 100% of the time. even abstract artists draw realistically throughout their careers... if they don't have that solid foundation in realism, how can they expect to successfully carry our their abstractions?
- Crucible1001, on 08/10/2008, -0/+0The difference is that this guy is now making money for the copying the original drawing. Unless he is giving the money he makes to the original artist, he is stealing.
- NinjaBull, on 08/10/2008, -0/+1He gave credit..
- Peter89, on 08/10/2008, -1/+2My hands SUCK.
- dorkino, on 08/10/2008, -3/+2Over 9000 hours of drawing!!
- Enigmocracy, on 08/10/2008, -1/+4No.
- Davoidbot, on 08/10/2008, -1/+1Dorkino!, what does the scouter say about his free time!?!
- RyomaNagare, on 08/10/2008, -0/+1O I have this one got it from cgwallpapers, enjoy while it lasts.
