That’s right, **FlyingRamenMonster** got into design at university and while it was what she was aiming for, it also means no life drawing classes for her, at least not until next year. So she has to improvise. If you are interested in seeing what you look like to strangers post a photo of your head from any angle and she will draw you. **FlyingRamenMonster** makes no guarantees with regards to quality\*, promptness or resemblance to the model. You are doing _her_ a favour, not the other way around 😉 \*Especially not since heads and necks are what she has the most trouble with. She _would_ have asked you all to post naked but had the feeling nobody would agree. ---

Oh, it looks like I forgot to draw your teeth. :smack: And that jpeg you see is the only version I have of it. :smack: Anyway that picture took me too damn long so I’m limiting myself to 1 hour per portrait now. Sorry if that means yours comes back half-finished. Hopefully, it won’t happen. I gotta learn to draw faster ;( [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-will-draw-your-crappy-portrait/341524.md?page=2)
