Well the local library is having a thing on critical thinking and I figured, why not have a cheery animu black guy have a brain pop out of his head and a comic bubble say "critical thinking!" from the brain. But I'm having trouble with how I want the brain to look.

Google ain't picking jack up that's good triumph

Better. I still think a purple tone would look good in it. Also it needs some kind of outline between the brain and the face. Try to make the line so that it looks like the skull has dimension.

Illustrator combined with Photoshop is my favorite program ever probably. Thanks Jinfash for coming up with that brain template. I drew the brain and the outlines in illustrator and pained the lighting on the brain with the airbrush in photoshop.

Rockin'. Should finish this tomorrow I guess. I just notice a few things I have to fix like the right ear.

Hmmm.. sadly Demi is right. Since it involves work i.e. livelihood I'll try and help you out.
1) His head is facing straight on, while his body is to a side. The fact of the matter is does he even need a body?
2) Eyes are a bit too big, if anything you should exaggerate the brain and make that cartoonish ie bulging out his skull.
3) If you decide not to have a body tilt his head to create interest.
4) Lines underneath the eyes need to be more subtle
5) Font\s (this in itself is a mistake himu) are hideous. Get rid of the speech bubble and make it a heading.

Is it a poster, a graphic etc?

The font is far too 'zany' and reminds me of the 90's. If you give him thicker eyebrows it should help somewhat regarding the lack of other hair.

This is true. I know Malek has improved my grammar by his criticisms. Finally I know the difference between your and you're, it's and its. Someday I hope to know I'm on my way when he says "Stylish use of an oxford comma" while giving me the cool double finger point. I will shed a tear, point back, and say "I love you too".

Don't think so. Foo Fighters have two good albums, while Nirvana has 3, or 4 if you count Incesticide.

Also, Foo Fighters are a cosmic abortion that killed Sunny Day Real Estate, so I'd prefer it if none of their shit existed.

Also, Himu, incorporate this into your pic. It will make it better:

What does this have to do with Nirvana sounding like Nirvana and the Foo Fighters sounding like Everclear? I'd take Bleach over anything the Foos have done. I'll take Buzzo firing a salad shooter into a microphone for 60 minutes over anything the Foos have done, or at least anything since their second record.

The Foo Fighters' one great album is better than anything Nirvana ever did. That being the colour and the shape.

Since when are you allowed to listen to secular music? Get back to Peter Murphy, furfag.

I'm just goiing to assume you were being sarcastic about the Foo Fighters comment, because I just can't wrap my head around it. It's like preferring Coldplay (or like, Travis) over Radiohead.

i hate all of those bands and have no idea who Travis is.

In You Honor and The Color And The Shape are pretty amazing

I get The Color and the Shape, but otherwise, I just don't understand :(
