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.

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