I hope that in judging you will appreciate my effort creating this literally from scratch, and with the limited materials ONLY USING THE MICROSOFT PAINT program. It was very important to me in the creative process to strictly abide by the instructions given to task, and not use any alternative methods for better brushes as others have requested. I wanted to be judged for my skill level, not for being the best photoshopper. I decided not to trace the image, and only recreate it with the vision of my own eyes and hand. Due to the limited brushes and materials of the program, I tried to make this as life like as I could while having a balance of it being a characaturized photo. Drew has an animated personality (and a huge head, pun intended 
) already so this picture was the perfect one for me to capture the essence of his presence . Extra points for rhyming??! I even painted extra details to the background to go along with the isurv1vor theme. The only reference I used for this photo was the original which I attached that drew sent to me to complete the challenge. So this creation is 100% Authentic pertaining to the guidelines given below. This was EXTREMELY challenging and time consuming to complete, and I am very happy with how it turned out considering the disadvantages
