The challenge was to try some of the online sites that allow folks to create avatars of themselves and see how that works. I gave one a try...the Picassoheads site. There you get the tools to create your own impressionist image of yourself. It was fun to play around with, but I generally don't feel that any type of art falls within my strengths. And that is especially true if I'm trying to create me! But as I browsed the galleries on the site, I realized it didn't even need to resemble me...it just needed to be a consistent image that would represent me. So with that knowledge in mind...I picassoed myself!
Not too impressive. And not exactly the avatar I would want representing me as a professional.
I would rather work from a photo of myself. I know, many folks are not comfortable posting their photos online. But I'm okay with it. So I grabbed a photo - an older head shot cause I shaved that mustache after 27 years...
And I took off to try some other options.
At BeFunky, I ended up with a watercolor of myself. Not too bad...
And then I headed over to PhotoFunia and created two more options. The second watercolor option - which I like better than the first...
And the pencil drawing...perhaps my favorite...
