Prizes for the Guess the Celebrity Drawing Game!

Hello!

Fiona and I are back to bring you some drawings today!
I had to include a gif from Julie and the Phantoms because Fiona and I just finished watching it and we are obsessed with it!

Back in December I hosted a game that I called Guess the Drawing of the Celebrity. It was where my younger sister Fiona and I had drawn pictures of celebrities and you had to guess who they were. I'm so glad that so many of you guessed! If you want to check it out you can find the original game HERE and the answers HERE.

Today is the time for the prize! Rachel, Livia Rose, and Skye all tied for first place with 7 correct guesses. Each of them got to choose an actor or actress for Fiona and me to try to draw!

We were still following the rules of the game, so we were supposed to do it in 6 minutes (which got stretched a little). You'll see our drawings followed by the reference picture that we used. We both used the same reference photo at the same time so you can really see the differences in our styles. We had loads of fun, so we hope that you like these pictures! Please tell us whose you like better for each of them!

This was first time that I had drawn in 2021, so it was a little rough. Looking at my drawings I this is what I do:

Then I tell myself:


When I look at Fiona's this is what I do:
I had so much fun! Both of us did! All right, that's enough of my messing around. Let's look at the drawings!



Skye's request:

.

Drawing time: 6 minutes
Skye picked Marta from Knives Out (2019), so we drew Anna de Armas. I think that my nose is better than Fiona's, but the rest of hers is really good. She only drew the nose with less than a minute of time left, so it is impressive considering that. Mine looks angry for some reason? I don't know if Anna de Armas ever looks angry, but she does in my drawing.


Livia Rose's request:

.

Drawing time: 12 minutes (6 for each person)
Livia asked us to draw the iconic duo of Nick and Nora Charles! I was so excited that I told Fiona right away. 
"Who's that?" she asked. 
I should've expected that because she has only seen one of The Thin Man movies and didn't like it, which is the opposite of me! I still have three of the films to see, but I have had so much fun watching the ones that I've seen. So, we found a picture of William Powell and Myrna Loy. Not going to lie, while Fiona's Myrna Loy is good I like mine better. Mine looks nothing like William Powell. I think that it looks like Clarke Gable. In fact, we had just finished drawing when my mom came it. I showed her mine and had her guess. Clarke Gable. Does that mean it's official?


Rachel's request:

Going into this one you need to know some of the discussion that happened prior to Fiona and I drawing it. I was up for the challenge, but Fiona didn't want to do this one. Why? Because she loves this person and didn't want to mess it up. We did this one last so that she could practice.

Fiona, when asked do draw this person said that she would rather:


Fiona: "Wait, I need a new piece of paper."
MC: "Why?"
Fiona: "Because if it's bad I'm going to burn it."

I told her that it wasn't going to be bad. She might've burned it if I hadn't smuggled the drawing away from her so she wasn't able to. Alright, are you ready to see?

I couldn't find the exact reference picture that we used, but this is really close!
Drawing time: 8+ minutes
Rachel picked Tom Holland! This one was longer than 6 minutes because Fiona just kept going. Mine was really bad and after the original 6 minutes I was able to straighten it out in 2 more minutes then stopped. Not Fiona. Even when I took the reference picture away from her she kept doing it so I don't have a really precise timeframe.
I really like how Fiona's turned out! I just laugh whenever I see mine.



That's a wrap from us!


Thank you to Rachel, Livia Rose, and Skye! Your picks were excellent and we hope that we did them justice. Thank you for reading! Tell us what you think of our efforts and let us know if you would want to see anything like this in the future! Have you drawn any of these people? How did it turn out?

Answers to the Guess the Drawing of the Actor Game!

Hello, everyone!

It's time for the answers to my Guess the Drawing of the Actor Game!

First off, I want to thank everyone who guessed! Whenever I'd see that a new comment was up I would read through it ten times before reading it out to my sister. Such a good time! We loved absolutely all of your guesses, so thank you all so much!

Now, the time to acknowledge that in my rush to show these all to you, I made two mistakes. I either said "modern" which was a little misleading, or I just said "actor" and forgot to include "singer". Thanks to Emily Grant for pointing one of them out to me! I'll mention which ones I did that on when we come to them, but I wanted to say sorry for unintentionally misleading you guys in any way.

I'll have each of our pictures next to the reference photo that we used for you to see how close we were. On some of these we will be listing our favorite guesses that you guys made, "honorary mentions" if you will. Please tell us your favorites and what you think of the honorary mentions!

If you enjoyed our art and what to see more of what Fiona does, check out her Instagram art account, @FionaCateCreates.

It is the moment that you've been waiting for. Who were we actually intending to draw?



1. Tom Hanks.


(1) Art by Fiona.
Modern Actor. Time to draw: approx. 20 minutes.





2. Emma Thompson.


(2) Art by MC.
Can you see what I was going for?







(2) Art by Fiona.
Modern Actress. Time to draw: 7 minutes.


You can all see how much better Fiona's is than mine. This was her right after we finished:

Just joking! She doesn't think it's that bad, just hilarious that I didn't do any eyes. We think that mine looks like Benedict's mask in Much Ado About Nothing (1993), so that's something!



 3. Sofia Carson.


(3) Art by Fiona.
Modern Actress. Time to draw: 7 minutes.


This is Fiona's favorite that she did, so she was very happy when Emily Grant guessed it! I had no clue who it was, so I'm in the same boat as the rest of you. And I even got five guesses.

Honorary Mention: I like Rachel's guess for Mila Kunis.



4. Frank Sinatra.


(4) Art by MC.
Older Actor/Singer (hence the musical note). Time to draw: 7 minutes.

Honorary Mention: Anna (from Pages to Remember) guessed Donald O'Connor from his role in Singin' in the Rain (1952), and as that is my favorite movie of all time, it is guarenteed to be mentioned. Plus, Fiona guessed that's who it was, too, when I first showed her.



5. Mark Hamill.

(5) Art by Fiona.
Modern Actor. Time to draw: 8 minutes.


This is the one that I messed up on. As Emily pointed out to me, Mark Hamill started his career in 1977, which would qualify him as an "older actor" based on the years that I put. My bad, because I was thinking that since The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi were in the 80s, I could just round. But, the picture Fiona used for reference is from A New Hope. Sorry if that confused anyone!

Honorary Mention: When we showed this to our dad, he said, "It's your man from Harry Potter!" He meant Rupert Grint, and since Livia Rachelle guessed the same, it gets a mention! Now that it is pointed out to us, they do look similar.



6. Cate Blanchett


(6) Art by MC.
Modern Actress. Time to draw: 8 minutes.

This is my personal favorite of all the ones that I did! And quite a few of you guessed it, so it must not be half bad (Don't ask me what I even do when it comes to hair. I have no clue).



7. Bette Davis.


(7) Art by Fiona.
Older Actress. Time to draw: 6 minutes.

"She's got Bette Davis eyes..."

Honorary Mention: This goes to Sam's guess of Katharine Hepburn, because I can totally see that!



8. Lin-Manuel Miranda.


(8) Art by MC.
Modern Actor. Time to draw: 6 minutes.

I'm so sorry to lead you all on with the "actor", because he is a composer and so much more. I should've put "singer" as well. My bad! The thing is, I am currently watching him the the series His Dark Materials, so I thought "he's and actor in that!" and kind of forgot everything else.

This is a horrible drawing, but at the same time, it kind of looks like him. I think that my drawing looks like the Phantom of the Opera. Anyone else see that?



 9. Ben Platt.

(9) Art by Fiona.
Modern Actor/Singer. Time to draw: 6 minutes.

Fiona hates this one and it took me awhile to convince her to put it as part of the game. I think it's great!

Honorary Mention: Fiona says that Finneas is a pretty good guess from Skye!



10. Julie Andrews.


(10) Art by MC.
Older and Modern Actress (sheʼs so well-known in both that if I donʼt tell you one Iʼm not giving you enough information.) Time to draw: 6 minutes.

I thought that this was one of my worst, but so many of you guys guessed it! Way to go! As you can see, my reference picture was one of her recently taken, but strangely enough my picture looks like her in her early days.

Honorary Mention: I agree with Anna Black and think that this picture looks more like Drew Barrymore.



11. Ariana Grande.

(11) Art by Fiona.
Modern female Singer. Time to draw: 6 minutes.


GUYS. This is one of my favorites of Fionaʼs! Can you believe that she did this in 6 minutes?? It is even better in real life. We don't think this is the exact photo that she used for reference, but it is pretty close.



12. Paul Rudd.


(12) Art by MC.
Modern Actor. Time to draw: 6 minutes.

This is my second favorite of mine because even though it is so weird I think itʼs pretty good.

How I was feeling after this one:

Then I thought:



Guess what I did. 
I got cocky. I never did a really great one after that.



13. Peter Lorre.


(13) Art by Fiona.
Older Actor. Time to draw: 6 minutes.

Honorarly Mention: We are calling him William Shatner because both our older sister and Rachel and guessed that!

It was a bit of a funny mix up with me and my dad guessing, because we both guessed Peter Lawford, and were telling Fiona, "It doesn't look like him..." And she answered us, "That's because it's not!"



14. Gal Gadot.


(14) Art by MC.
Modern Actress. Time to draw: 7 minutes.

Everyone thinks that this looks nothing like her. Eh. What can I say? I thought she was going to be so easy to draw, and then she wasn't. I was cocky.

Honorary Mention: Skye's guess of Anne Hathaway. Excellent guess!



15. Mickey Rooney


(15) Art by Fiona.
Older Actor. Time to draw: 6 minutes.



16. Elizabeth Taylor



(16) Art by MC.
Older Actress. Time to draw: 6 minutes.



17. Julia Roberts


(17) Art by Fiona.
Modern Actress. Time to draw: 6 minutes.



18. Oscar Isaac


(18) Art by MC.
Modern Actor. Time to draw: 6 minutes.


I told you, #17 and #18 look nothing like the people who they are supposed to. I actually like to call #18 Zac Efron because I think it looks more like him, but Fiona doesn't think so. Our older sister highly agrees with all of you who guessed Tom Hiddleston.



19. Timothée Chalamet


(19) Art by Fiona.
Modern Actor. Time to draw: 6 minutes.

Also known as "That guy from Little Women who looks like a pointy Italian shoe". Rachel, I don't know why, but my older sister and I love that guess so much.

This is my second favorite of Fiona's because once again I am stunned by her ability to draw like that in 6 minutes. How in the world did she do that??

I also think that he kind of looks like Josh Bryant, that Backstreet Boy clone from The Princess Diaries (2001).



20. Skai Jackson


(20) Art by MC.
Modern Actress. Time to draw: 6 minutes.

The quality of the picture of my drawing is really bad. It looks way more like her in real life. Sorry about that!



21. Rihanna


(21) Art by Fiona.
Modern Singer and sometimes Actress. Time to draw: 6 minutes.



22. Danny Kaye


(22) Art by MC.
Older Actor. Time to draw: 6 minutes.

I forgot to draw lines to make sure that his eyes were even, so it came out really weird. You'd think that by the end of all of this practice, I'd have a good one, but not really.




Scores:

Skye: 7

If you're curious about who everyone guessed, I've published all of their comments on the original post HERE, so check that out and congratulate them!

We'll feature the drawings in January! Probably January 19th just to be organized.


I think Blogger hasn't been giving me comments lately, so I'm sorry if it "ate" someone's guess! Let me know who you would've guessed, or if you think there is someone else who likes like any of these people.

Thank you so much to all of you for participating! We hope that you had fun. Now that you see the pictures, do our drawings look any better? Were you going to guess one of them? Tell me all of your thoughts!
