You have a nice self-image, FOR ME TO POOP ON [not a poop thread]

We all know what we look like, right? The clothes we wear, our facial structures, what our bodies look like, our bearing, the cultural context within which we move, etc., all those things we have a completely sober view of...

right

Everyone has a picture of themselves in their head, which both is at odds with and informs the person that the world sees. I want this to be a thread to talk about and illuminate those things we see in ourselves. As an exercise, I made a sketch of myself without consulting a photo or mirror.

Stuff I'm self-conscious about, namely my nose, worry lines, and stubble, got emphasized, as did my cheek-bones and tilt of my eyes, two features I like about how I look.

So come on, SE++. Give it a shot. Sketch yourself, post it, and talk about what it says about how you see yourself.

    I did that once when I entered high school.

    I doubt the picture's changed much 16 years later. But I don't have a scanner anyway.

    I will pretend draw everyone in this thread.

    Flaws will include being too awesome, and not wearing enough clothing.

    Seriously people, have some modesty. My imagination is watching.

    I can't draw, at all. @natek made a pretty great drawing of me as a corgi getting peed on once though.

    imagine conan, but half sized. that is how I see myself. not entirely accurate, but I'll bust a wizard right in the chops, sure enough. not even a half sized wizard either, full grown all the way.

    not that I'm adverse to busting up half sized wizards, either. any wizard, any time, that's what I say.

    I once got Firman to make me a portrait. Some of the best money I've ever spent. It's from a year or two ago, but it's pretty much how I see myself.

    Just a few things. You should probably have a doctor look at your nose. It's not supposed to be purple.

    Also, eye shadow goes below the eyebrow.
    That is an amazing portrait. I want one.

    people don't have to if they don't want! This could also be a thread to discuss how people see themselves.

    Or what rank said. I certainly wouldn't critique stick figures or mspaint junk or whatever.

    In middle school art class we had to do a self-portrait and I drew mine with the Spider-Man half-mask that they used to do in the older comics

    More recently, back when I lived in SC a local cartoonist was out at a part and doing little toons of people and I got one
