Draw yourself in MS Paint!
 

Go on. Open up MS Paint and have a bash at a self portrait, then upload it to www.imageshack.us and post it here. This can be a lot of fun when there are some arty folk around the forum. :D

hahahaha, that's the main reason we're doing this in Paint instead of Photoshop. It's like in art class when they want you to draw with a stick or something. :D

Very nice drawing! You pay a lot of attention to detail... and you're damned good looking. :)

Me in fifteen minutes:

I'm positive that there's already a thread like this... I just can't find it...

Absolutely positive...

If you can't find it then there's not much use in it, whether it exists or not. :p

There was one, long long ago. But it's vanished. I did contribute to it. But I'll do one for this thread too :)

Well I did that on doodlestory.com but it was based on how I look & the thing is kinda like Paint. I'm pants at drawing on the computer.

Nice stuff! I detect touch of anime there. :)


A real challenge would be to do the self portrait using your foot instead of your hands... anyone up for it? :D

I can't use paint, but I did post a pic of me, I like my contacts in this, I did go light on my makeup at the time though.

Cool contacts, but the point of this is to draw yourself, not just post a photo. ;) C'mon, be a bit adventurous and doodle something! :D

You got me, I'll work my ass off and post something a bit later. :)

Can't wait to see it. :D

Heh... thanks, you flatter me. Can you tell I gave up around the point where you fill in the shadow-detail...?

::looks at your work:: Bwaaaahhh... *@.@*

You COULDN'T have done that with a mouse! It looks like a sketch done in ink and white-out! (However, if that IS done with a mouse, you're my hero...)

Do you have a 'Pen and 'Board? I've always wanted one of those, but I always wind up spending all my play money on fabric and anime before I remember to buy it.

lmao yeah, no mouse involved, my parents got me an A6 Wacom Graphire3 tablet for my 15th birthday after I'd been pestering them for months to help me buy one after our ancient one broke. It's really small, useless for big detail work, but it's very handy for sketches like that. You might try looking on ebay for a second hand tablet if you're interested in getting one without spending loads, but really, unless you're a professional or very enthusiastic digital artist, you won't need one any bigger than A5, and the smaller you go, the less you need to pay. :)

(I feel like an ad spammer today... first the goggles, now this :P )

Anyone feel like doing more? Or would anyone be brave enough to post a photo for the rest of us to try drawing? :D

Well, I posted my photo...

Be more fun if you'd made a silly face in the picture, or smiled or something. :p

hmm, not bad. Very nice.

Set the speed right up:

Wow, that's great! :D Would you care to sketch me? *puppy-dog eyes*

Oh honey that was artistic.
I couldn't stop laughing when I was watching that, it was funny (in a good way!).

I'm now having a sudden decrease in self-esteem after taking a look at your works.

This is possibly the most craptacular Paint drawing ever done.

This is an attempt to draw in Paint... Guess it didn't work too well.
