Drawing Challenge

Draw Yourself(ie)

Mirror, mirror on the wall... who will be the winner of them all? DA showcase challenge #19 tasks you to doodle yourself. Draw a spot-on likeness of your image or a more creative, interpretative self-portrait. Either way we want to see what stares back at you when you peer through the looking glass. Play with, around, and through the prop, i.e., the mirror. This is about taking a good hard look at yourself. And holy smokes! Did we mention? Our sponsor, Michaels (one of the largest retailers of drawing and sketching supplies) is offering all participants 25% off sketchbook supplies to encourage you to get your draw on (click to print coupon). Plus, the winner of this challenge gets a $250 Michaels giftcard*. Oh, the creative damage one could do with that! I'm dreaming of one of those mini shopping carts piled high. Read below for complete details.

This was all hand-drawn with a Sharpie looking at myself in my daughter's mirror but when I took the photo, the "Michael's mirror" was blurry so I put it in Adobe to cut out the image and retrofit it into the Michael's mirror again, but then I saw that my photo's exposure had turned it grey so I used the computer to try and get it white again, but I liked the effect of keeping some of the bad exposure grey. I know it wouldn't win anyway, so although it was hand-drawn, some computer was used after...full-disclosure! (p.s. This is how I do all of illustrations so it is true to my style).

Hello, I'm Rocio AKA unbichobolita, I'm from Buenos Aires, Argentina, so probably I'm not even qualified to participate in the contest because there's no Michaels in my city :( And of course, I didn't understand the FOUR simple steps, and I made my drawing in other piece of paper rather than using the template you provided. I had to print the template, cut out the centre and tape it to my sketchbook. The stain in the drawing is some chicken salad that fell of my sandwich. Good luck to everybody!

A little about myself- I was the quiet one that sat in the back of the class and took notes attentively during the 3 hour art appreciation course (excitement!) and seriously struggled to focus during the 1 hour accounting course (please, just shoot me now).

Um. Uhhh... Oh yeah! I'm known to be quite forgetful among my friends and family, so I thought I'd choose that aspect of myself to show through with this drawing. That stuff coming out of my ears? Oh, it's like wispy, fluffy, bubblegummy stuff that seeps out during daydreams. It's only perceivable to racoons. I used pencil and colour pencils and then placed it in the frame on computer. And now, um...
