Cartooned

I had a few minutes between projects, so I took a moment just now to draw a cartoon version of myself based on this picture.  The inspiration for this is because I’ve kind of wanted to replace my Gravatar (again, the aforementioned photo), and I kind of like the idea of using a drawn portrait, especially one I’ve done myself.  I’m starting to get more comfortable with drawing cartoon people that look semi-real, so I wanted to see if I could draw myself. 

Unfortunately, I don’t have a digital version of the final product to display yet, but I quite like the outcome.  It took a little bit of experimentation, tweaking, and nudging of graphite to get it right, but what I ended up with is a fair resemblance of myself as I might look in a cartoon.  Once I get home this evening, I’ll ink it, scan and color it, and post it here.
