I said I'd get back to him, and thought that I could either start going into deep psychoanalytic mode or just try to draw a more realistic picture of myself. So here's a quick drawing, looking into the full-length mirror (which means it's me in reverse.) I'd still like to find a shorthand technique, though, there's no way I'd draw this realistically in, say, a mini comic, or I'd never have time to finish it.\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cb>Edit\u003C/b> Here are a couple pictures that figured into my discussion with Woodrow... including  his own not-very-realistic self portrait. (I love the spindly legs!) \u003Ca href=\"http://www.thedfc.co.uk/writers-artists/woodrow-phoenix/\">His version on the DFC site\u003C/a> looks much more like him.\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/woodrow1-f396818be6.jpg\"> \u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/woodrow2-c343779e05.gif\">","2008-08-22T08:53:00.000Z","self-portrait-sketch",[],"self portrait sketch",1776628723279]
