That's Okat. You may know him as the founder of Doodlers Anonymous. His dark disheveled hair, crazy full beard, distinct eyes and nose - I love capturing it on paper. Like he said, "It's like looking in a mirror, but better."
A face says so much. Ever since I can remember, I have always loved drawing them. My most recent project has been to combine my two favorite things - face and type - to portray a person and the essence of who they are.
This is where the cool part comes in. I'm doing a giveaway. I want to draw you.
For the chance to win a 9"x12" signed, hand-drawn portrait of you, all you have to do is leave a comment below with a quote or phrase that best describes your personality. We'll pick one winner based on the quotes submitted. (This quote/phrase will be incorporated into your portrait.The winner will also have to send us a photo of themselves.)
The winner(s) have been chosen!
With over 70 comments, it was difficult to choose just one winner, so instead I chose two. Good on you. :) Congrats to Josh LaFayette ("My favorite hobby is breakfast.") and Ellie Kneeland ("...like an octopus on roller skates"). Please send over a close-up photo of you so I can see all the details of your wonderful faces.
Thanks for everyone's participation. What a fun way to get to know our members!
And keep on the lookout! We're making these hand-drawn portraits available for purchase in our shop very soon, so you can order your very own.

It means, "What she danced, she lived."
After being forced to retire from ballet due to an injury, this became my mantra to remind myself that I don't have to wear pointe shoes to live out my passion. So now I use the same passion I used to have for dancing in my life.

@Shay Gamiere...Love!
@Erica Williams...I would so pick yours!!!
etch my face
from too much sun
in a sunny place
etch my face if you will
but you will need
lots of ink for your quill
colour me pink
or colour me blue
it is up to you what you do
bear in mind
you will be challenged some
as you doodle my one and one half eyes
take this as a gentle warning
so my photo does not surprise
Thank you for the chance :)
I move as a crowd
mapper of shadows
betwixt and between space
theory rich-data poor
circle livers
a phrase describing me:
lao te se
it means sad wise one
Like it’s a little league game
I don’t care if I win
Just wanna watch some little girl
Get her very first hit
Watch her father cheer so hard
He spills his beer
And decides to quit
