Yes, she is! And seeing a picture of her actually answers something I'd been wondering about the way she draws people . . .

Well, thank-you, guys...

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.

there's a theory of some famous old artist for that. that people draw and parts of themselves end up in their pieces regardless of content or something like that. I dunno, you'd have to ask neko...

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.

ah! that's it. I wonder what ends up more numerous, people with characters with themselves in it or people who draw and have themselves in it.

that theory my excuse on why i can't draw curvy ladies! XD

might be why all my characters are curvy. BCI characters are all based on people I hang with, but Neely and I are the only two that are actually curvy IRL, but almost all the female cast in BCI has the same buxom shape....

I think I posted this in the last thread, but what the hell, it fits the stuff-on-head theme.

I find that to be the case of every artist I meet or know. Here and elsewhere.
