Who would have thought I would end up drawing Leonardo's Mona Lisa? Well, one of my Cartooning Club girls asked me to draw it on the board, and since I had no photoreference at all, I did a terrible job. She said she could do it better, and challenged me to try again at home, and she would do the same. A week later, we both brought our masterpieces to school to see who the winner was. I know I shouldn't be this competitive, but I was very excited about the challenge, even if it meant besting a tiny sixth grader. "Why would I want to crush her spirit?", I kept asking myself, assuming my rendition of the mysterious lady would be the winner of our silly competition. Actually, I wasn't wondering about anything at all, since I was just listening to music and having a blast while raping Leonardo's most famous painting. Anyway, this took me an hour, and you can judge the results by yourselves. Enjoy!

Don't you think it would be only fair that you had posted the girl's rendition so that we can compare your abilities?
I like it. That missing finger reminds me of the hands of the TMNT. Trust me, it is a compliment.
An excellent point, Alberto. I wish I had her picture, but I don't. Therefore, you'll have to trust me when I say mine was far superior, hahaha.
But this is not the end of the story. Come back on Sunday for a follow up to the story!
And I'll take your compliment ;)
¿Pero es que ni reproduciendo un clásico le puedes poner cinco dedos por mano a alguien?
A ver si te estás encasillando, Fel...
Hahaha. Es verdad. Y, a partir de ahora, todos mis personajes serán amarillos!
Bueno, aunque fuera a ese precio no me importaría ver más color en tus dibujos, Fel. Que últimamente nos tienes demasiado acostumbrados al B/N.
Hahaha. No te preocupes que dentro de poco verás más colores. Porque el gris es un color, ¿no?
