Dovey mentioned this idea in the photothread and I thought it sounded like a good one! I guess it probably belongs in the drawing thread, but no one goes in there. And I want everyone to do it! It could be fun!
It's pretty self explanatory! Draw yourself! As fun or silly or awesome as you want! I know we have a bunch of good artists on this board, but I want to see everyone's version of themselves.

I will start us off I guess! I drew this just for this thread!

Here it is in its silly before blending stage!

i am no good at drawing mouths so i decided to make myself as happy as possible.

Eris · « **Reply #2 on:** 02 Jul 2008, 20:15 »

I will be all up in this thread once I draw myself today. I will have two (count 'em, two!) self portraits, complete with labels noting stuff.

David_Dovey · « **Reply #3 on:** 02 Jul 2008, 20:44 »

I'm gonna try to do one of these as often as possible, and forsake photowhoring for draw-whoring.

This thread makes me happy! I can even recognise everyone from their pictures!

Man MaiAda, I thought I looked really super happy in mine. You win.

Jimmy, if you're not going to use it as your avatar, can I have it?

print it out and make a mask out of it, Jimmy you're wearing it nxt time i see ya

I'm pretty sure that when Jimmy arrives in Boston next year, there will be an entourage wearing Jimmy masks waiting to greet him outside of Logan Airport (Outside, because I figure security won't take kindly to a series of JimmytheSquid masks).

Here's one I did recently, but not particularly for this thread. I'll do another one later.

HOW DO YOU PEOPLE GET SKIN TONES SO WELL? I CANNOT FIGURE IT OUT! CURSES, PHOTOSHOP! CUUUUUURRRSES!

(I will draw something when I get home.)

EDIT - Also, drill king, you look really nice in that portrait, well done! Everyone else, too.

I can't tell whether or not I'm getting better or worse at drawing.

Why is that, Jodie?

Tania, your pic reminds me a lot of John A's style when he does painted art, and I mean that in a good way

Drill King · « **Reply #23 on:** 03 Jul 2008, 19:12 »

ephemere, you look like Dora in that picture, I wonder if you actually have any resemblance IRL.

tania · « **Reply #24 on:** 03 Jul 2008, 20:04 »

john allison and paul taylor (of wapsi square) are my biggest influences at the moment so yeah no offense taken whatsoever.

i usually do one of these every year. the one i posted from a couple years ago when i had longer hair + face piercings is basically 100% john allison rip off.

Someone draw me. I have no scanner, no paper, no camera, and no photoshop. I have thirty minutes of internet that I can steal from somewhere down the road. I will not have anything except family and fishing and charades and all that shit until tuesday.

THIS IS APPALACHIA, MOTHERFUCKERS.

I've got a horrible headache today so here's a pic I drew a few months ago for my girlfriend when I was at work.

If we're posting old things, this was my self portrait for Feb 26.

jodizzle · « **Reply #32 on:** 04 Jul 2008, 17:44 »

See lunchy, you can still participate (I totally assumed ou would have bought your Wacom with you for some reason. I would have!)

pirate, I get skin tones by using the eye drop tool and taking them straight from the photo reference I am using! It is the easiest way and I am very lazy!

jodizzle · « **Reply #36 on:** 05 Jul 2008, 22:14 »

I am somewhat disenchanted with art of late. Doing portraits like my one at the start of this thread gives me liittle or no joy. I just do it for something to do really. I'm trying to find a style I can enjoy drawing in, which is alarmingly hard.

This is what I look like when I spend too much time reading Jennifer Feinberg's Chi (I love her art alot). Also when I just sit and draw shapes. Loxley noticed that apparently there was a bird behind me. So I gave in to his demands and made it ART. Or something! Its a bit bizzarre and crap, but its a self portrait!

It's an animation technique, but I was referring more to the style that is used in the Linklater films Waking Life and A Scanner, Darkly.

e.g.

It looks pretty cool.

BrittanyMarie · « **Reply #39 on:** 06 Jul 2008, 23:07 »

I am no artist. But fairly decent representation of me looking creepy.

Oooh, okay thank you. Upon googling it I was a little confused, and huh, I always thought A scanner, darkly was done through vector imaging. But thank you.

jhocking · « **Reply #41 on:** 07 Jul 2008, 06:13 »

I'm suspecting you may have some other meaning in mind when you say "vector imaging," but note that Illustrator is based on vector graphics. So yes, they probably did use vectors for those drawings; vector graphics are routinely used for doing illustrations of people. Just do a gis for 'vector portrait'

Drill King · « **Reply #42 on:** 07 Jul 2008, 07:14 »

I know that illustrator uses vectors etc but what I mean is more liiike this

It was done with vector images. I think "Waking Life" was hand-painted, but in any case it's all rotoscoping!

The DVD I have depicts dozens of artists painstakingly hand drawing over every single frame for both movies using tablets in a program with a strikingly similar interface to photoshop.

Illustrator is basically a twin to Photoshop's interface.

Also, you'd know if you saw Illustrator, because it uses the pen tool. It's easily recognisable, pretty different to the type of painting you get in Photoshop. You probably saw Painter! Did it look something like this?
