Also, specifically regarding Jim's comment: buh?

I may be wrong, but I'm guessing that you learned to draw people at least partially by looking at yourself in the mirror? It could be just a coincidence, but the facial structure of the characters you draw closely resembles your own.

Now that I think about it... I *do* tend to use myself as a model. It's very convenient, considering that I'm always available. I wonder, don't most people do that?

...But my only conscious self-insertion character is the Middle Step-Sister in the fairytale jam.

Taking ourself for model...no...don't..know anything about it... *shoves his male characters in a drawer and lock it*

What about for that umm picture for me and CJ?

[Keffria]

If I give you *that* picture, I'll have no dignity left at all... I need to save some of it for the future, you know.

I often use my hands to model hands.

I often use your hands to model hands too.

I understand and will agree with you.

Since the theme seems to be "hats" I figured I probably wouldn't be able to get away without posting some new hatted photos in this thread but, happily, the digital camera seems to be missing and there's no one around to ask where it is.

How sad.

That'd be Leonardo da Vinci. Supposedly, he was the one who actually posed for his own Mona Lisa portrait.

And it's actually quite probable. Many artists, famous and otherwise, learn to draw from the model that's always there with them . . . themselves. For some folks (like me, lookit teh avatar), it's a lot more obvious, but others end up subtly placing themselves into the picture by using their own facial and body structure to fill in the gaps here and there. Even if da Vinci really used a woman model for Mona Lisa, it's still likely that he used bits of his own face in there because he might have learned to paint and draw human faces from painting and drawing his own, and those certain lines were ingrained in his style.

Odd thing is, I draw my Avatar Pyro based on me, but its not because i look at myself. It's more like how I mentally view myself.

Very nice point made there though. *starts looking at others works for resemblances.*

Well, that's what I do, too, when I draw Jim for my comic. The reason why I figured Lady Keff must have a long facial structure, however, is because the vast majority of characters she draws has that same long face. Those who use their own body as a model draw those specific bits across the board . . . those of us who draw their mental pictures of themselves tend to do so only for those characters based directly on themselves.

I find this statement to be correct.

*No Dignity Pic*

Woah! You look like my brother... only different hair... and older... and not as boney.

[K-Dawg]

Enough talking about stuff, more pictures!

And let us not forget that Keff is attracted to young men with longer facial structures, and allows her preferences to influence her art... ;>_>

But that's rather insightful. I shall have to try to draw more rounded faces on certain characters.

Young!? Long faced?! By George! I fit atleast 2 categories of her interests!!!


Sorry K-Dawg... I'll post some pictures later to make up for the rambling.
