Photo trace meme

[bladespark]

This thing has been going around FA and DA, and I kind of thought it was fun. So I did it.

The idea is to quit drawing your main characters with pecs like woah or boobs out to here and instead trace a photo of yourself and turn it into said character. I had a hard time picking who to do, but I eventually decided on Andrew. :)


Click for larger version.

For a quick sketch it came out pretty nicely.

It's weird though, because it looks a bit strangely proportioned, and yet it's directly traced over a photo. But my hands look so small! Tiny little hands. XD

Anyhow, hope you enjoy.

I'd do it, but none of my characters look remotely like me ¬¬

(also i draw like fail, even when tracing)

The shoulders look a bit malproportioned, I think. It's likely due to the implied bagginess of the clothes making the proportions wonky. After all, you've apparently got hips that are quite a bit larger than your waist, but with a baggy shirt that obscures that the whole torso looks that wide. Compared to the size of the body(excluding the shoulders and face), the hands actually look relatively proportionate. I think they only look out of proportion to the face because you went from a human face to an elongated anthro face.

And heee, I recognize the picture you drew this from~.

Hmm, I was going to say that I'd do this if I had a recent pic of myself, and then I remembered that I do. >.> So maybe.
