I am no artist and I agree it is difficult to make, but I have seen better work done on other people.

Looking just at Federer's it is obvious that the eyes are the wrong shape and too big compared to the real thing. Also the flat part of his cheeks is somehow smaller in real life as the cheek bone is bigger and rounder (and so his the overall shape of Fed's face).

Easy mistakes can be pointed out with close attention on the other attempts, try to pick them up!.

I reckon they've screwed up the eyes on all of them tbh - none of the eyes look right :nope:

True and the eyes are difficlt to do but if one succeeds , then it akes other mistakes less apparent.

They shoudl have given us the job. ;)

Can you imagine yourself being "reanimated" by Nadal and waking up in his strong arms?


:hide:

Yep and he makes the face as if it's too late!

They look like something a Stephen King horror would be based on - what horrific sculptures!

Fed looks like an Orc, Nadal looks like a Tudor-esque beheading and Djokovic looks like he's been dropped on his head.

Roger also seems to be giving the "measurer" the serious evil eye when the nose measurements are being taken... ;)
