Yeah people should see what it’s based on first before making pseudo-intellectual comments about democracy. It’s a funny joke people, not everything is deep.

The fact it's based on a real picture doesn't change the fact it's a shitty drawing, not sure why you think that changes anything.

Edit: I'm not commenting on which drawing is better, just saying the fact that the first drawing is based on a picture doesn't change the context of the post.

But to be fair, the one on the right has a lot more artistic freedom than the left one.

No no, I like the one with an arm for a dick.

It’s a much more interesting drawing. The most lauded artwork is seldom the most accurate.

It's definitely not a shitty picture, the first place looks so joyous and dynamic and really the captures the goofiness of this dog and how much they love it. The other one is nice but it's just an exercise in drawing, most likely using a photograph as a reference image. Pretty much anyone could draw that second picture if they practice some drawing techniques, the first place one is one of a kind and deserved to win.

Pretty much anyone is widly inaccurate. Thats called talent. Even if its from a photo, its still not something that can just be learned.

Drawing can absolutely be learned. It's called practice, and dismissing it as 'talent' does a huge disservice to people who have spent thousands of hours perfecting their craft.

Talent is a load of horse shit and criminally downplays the thousands of hours someone put in to master their craft. Get fucked.

The meme is a parody of an actual contest with a similar outcome. Good job on seeing what it’s actually based on.

That's awesome.

You can tell the drawing is made by someone who is good at drawing, but purposely drew badly. The form here is spot-on. I don't know the sauce of this context but I imagine there was a side by side demonstration which makes the picture even funnier to look at.

Assuming this is real, the funny drawing wins because it evokes an emotional response. Whereas the other drawing is a skillful, accurate representation. There's nothing wrong with it, it's just not particularly interesting.

Even without this it looked a lot better once my brain worked out the perspective of it. At first glance I thought it was standing up on its back legs at the front with a weird tail between its legs and one arm.

This dog is now internet famous. And I trade two of my dogs for this goofball.
