ink & copic marker

My surreal self-portrait. Made using pen and watercolor.

My work and imagination comes from a piece of pencil... and the things I explore are through my doodles :)

Haven't drawn a portrait in years! This was very fun and interesting to paint. I used watercolor paints/pens.

Me through the looking glass, my hair are flying petal red roses; the butterflies are outside the cage flying around me too; The prince frog is smiling and of course I'm wearing my dream catcher necklace. Materials: paper, pencil 4b, acrylic paint.

self portrait caricature using only pencil and black pen

Hand-drawn "selfie" doodle, using a fine tip Sharpie pen, colored with water colors. I drew myself with my favorite hairstyle. I have been letting grow for a year now, with intentions of donating it in the coming year. Lots of symbolism in my doodles, reflecting "me" and the life I am currently living.

This is an illustration of myself surrounded with my two loves: Space and Triangles.

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...

Too long bangs. Nerdy glasses. Short hair. Me?

I like turtles.

Peace, Love, Happiness, Science & Doodles. But mostly doodles.

Flamin' footsies selfie.

This was drawn with sharpie on ceramic tile. The color streaks are when I thinned the sharpies with 91% rubbing alcohol.

my dream..

drawn with black pen and and painted with markers. I love nature, so my self-portrait,

I always have to work late into the night. I will wrap myself up like a cocoon to keep warm.

When you open those blank pages, and you're mind starts to turn, and then your hand starts to move, and those lines start to appear, it becomes this awesome cycle of Exploration, Creativity and Thought, it's my own meditation

i initially had my final doodle on bristol board but i was so excited for the showcase i didn't look at the details (draw in mirror) ha. had fun doing it again.

Me (ava) with my cat dinah

A quick experimental depiction of myself. It was a lot of fun :)

This is my doodled self(ie). Thanks.

Ink, acrylic and charcoal on paper.

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!

It's me, under my skin.

Cartoonjish Style Portrait Doodle of Me

My name is Misty, and I am a mad scientist doodler!!! I create MONSTERS! BWAHAHAAA!

Selfie in watercolor and pen

drawing of myself (Theanne Crossett) from a photo taken in May at my granddaughter's birthday party..."Yaya taking a think break" :D

Medium: Pastel, oil paint I wanted to evoke a sense of wonder and magic that art brings me. Sometimes I feel bland and boring, black and white, but art allows me to shine.

It's always the quiet ones...

Materials used: Black ink, yellow and tan markers.

Pick me. I'm not the best artist but I had so much fun drawing thi.

Here's my selfie taken in my (future) room :)

me in my chair at the computer. xx

Me and my mess of curls - age 10

25 minutes of my life 4u doodlers all around the planet earth !!

tangled myself a bit, pen, marker, colored pencils, and graphite:)

Here I am. This represents what I love to do and how my mind fills with ideas I can't keep track of and projects yet to be finished. Well I finished this one it's a wrap ! Dawn

Self Portrait based on the insanity and obsession of love. Ink, collage, and colored pencil on illustration board.

This is my three and a half year old daughter Lucy Aurora's self portrait.

balloon party!

My name is Andrea, and this is my entry for the selfie ^.^ In this portrait I am wearing my favorite celestial scarf. Yay for galaxy motifs! 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). Anywho, hope you enjoy :)

life is pretty up in the air at the moment. i'm perpetually a deer in headlights.

A continuous line drawing of my seemingly very woven sqiggly self!

I enjoy anime style art and it's my normal technique, so I thought, what's better then drawing myself in that way?! I'd love to win this contest and be able to buy prisma color pencils like I used to use in highschool!

Self Portrait by John Martin

Here is my portrait doodle with my hamster (Long dead but still in my head)

A surreal type pencil drawing of me with liquid hair? I usually don't like drawing noses in my work so I just leave them out.

Esther Molina

I wanted to find a way to incorporate my doodles into a portrait of myself, and after some trial and error, this is what I came up with!

The Inner Me, a doodle portrait using a 0.25 rotring rapidograph pen.

Hi! This challenge was super fun. My 'selfie' depicts more of my thinking and appreciation for the beauty around me than my actual likeness. I hope you enjoy it!

Le me

here is my doodle. thanks!

wish I really had a heart nose and this much spaghetti hair! I do feel that I generally have all these things living in my barnet though!

I love nature and I love drawing

An inside look at my mind. Please wipe your feet on the mat before entering.

ink and paper. never stop drawing!

Hand drawn and painted with watercolor, acrylic and markers.

This is actually a pretty close picture of me! Half (female) John Lennon, half Peanuts character! I even use this as the wall paper on my cell phone!

A little hello from Montreal :D

By Me :D

Self portrait drawing using fineliner and Letraset markers. Loads of other mini-portraits drawn around it as well - i.e drawn with left hand, blind contour, etc.

This is me. I have blond-ish curly hair and always wear scarfs.

markers and pens

max stoked in the morning.

This is a drawing of me doing the first drawing I ever did. I was 19 months old.

Pickaboo!

It's okay not to be okay.

Me.

A self-portrait? it's good, most of time,I'm my favourite victim. For this one, I used a bit of everything that I had at hand: color pencils, acrylic, ballpoint pen .. And I offered myself an aureole of holiness.

Regardless of the heartaches, I continue to wear my heart on my sleeve because it is a part of who I am.

I'm a bit clumsy and I'm not fond of swimming.

self portrait made with pencil

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).
