Luz made me do it

I feel the need to apologize in advance of this post, be prepared the pictures you are about to see may cause eye damage and a weak stomach..... that being said, Luz posted a challenge yesterday and I knew if I didn't do it she would force me to- you know she used to be a Marine! Anyway the challenge was to draw (yes she said draw) a picture of yourself. For a hot second I thought about ignoring it but like I said she used to be a Marine and has a way of getting people to do what she wants. Then I thought about cheating, I figured I could take a picture of myself and use some photo editing software to end up with a picture that looked like it was drawn by a person (more importantly, me) I did that and this is what happened


















I knew there was no way I could pass that off as mine, I got the math gene not the art gene. So then I thought it wouldn't be cheating if I traced the picture that the computer generated for me, that way I could say I actually drew the picture so this is what I came up with..... warning this is where it gets scary




















In the event anyone is still reading this, I feel the need to justify the picture. No my eyebrows are not two different shapes, I don't think I have a double chin and to the best of my knowledge, my eyes are the same shape or as close to it as humanly possible.

Lucky for Luz I have a decent sense of self worth or seeing my version of myself would have pushed me right off the cliff.

You did a great job, and I compliment the guts it took to put yourself out there like that.. I know how it feels. At least you drew your face, I drew an imaginary me... lol! I really really like the photoshop version as well. Happy Friday!! :)
