A lot of my friend have been having A.I. generate caricatures of themselves. I prefer not to give out my information in that way, and I thought it'd be fun to throw caution to the wind and make my own! It's kind of fun to just not care about how good the perspective is or how perfect the lines are. Just have fun doodling things you like!

The sketch I made took 30 minutes, and I probably spent about an hour painting it. You don't need to be this fancy. Draw a stick figure of yourself and some stuff you like! Color it or don't--it doesn't matter!

I think the key is to just have fun thinking about what's important to you. I tried to make mine a caricature...but I'm not good at caricatures. But, I don't think that matters. What matters is taking some time to reflect on what's important in your life.

I added a bit more and then painted it. I was worried about painting it ruining it, but you can't learn if you don't try!

Thank you! I'm usually too terrified to paint things I've drawn, for fear of ruining them. But, I tried to keep a feeling of "This is for fun, it doesn't matter how it looks." I think, when A.I. can be so good at certain styles, it sort of frees us to just create because at least we're human. If it looks too good, it looks like A.I.!
