So there’s this “style challenge” going on (it started on Instagram but you can search for #stylechallenge pretty much anywhere), and I just went crazy over it 🙂
Artists are supposed to draw self-portraits in the style of different cartoon characters. Here are some examples:
I started by drawing myself as a Peanuts character and as Betty Boop, but then I just lost it I guess, and here’s what I ended up with! I don’t think it fits the challenge anymore but I don’t care I had so much fun drawing these 😀 And now there’s a Gustav Klimt painting with curly hair ;D
For those of you wondering, YES all of these I drew from scratch, and YES, even the Klimt painting! 😀
Let me know what you think!
(posting the challenge’s compilation first, scroll down to see them all )
Always wanted to be in a Klimt painting.
If you want something done, do it yourself they say, so here’s my version of The Kiss!
(Note: due to high demand this one is now available for sale in my RedBubble Store!)
Me as Emily (Corpse Bride by Tim Burton)
Me as Rapunzel in my version of Disney’s “Tangled”: “deTangled” of course!
Me as Jessica Rabbit
Me as The Little Prince by Saint-Exupéry, or should I say The Little Princess
Peanuts
Betty Boop
UPDATE:
Thought that my girls and ladies who have been blessed with more melanin might like this one 😀
The Curly Klimt available for sale now!

Thank you! 🙂 I’ll check it out!
Do you work with any writers and are you in Los Angeles? Your art inspires me to put words down. Let’s collab! (Oh, I’m tall and nappy too!)
Hello Tall N Nappy! I have and most importantly I illustrated my own book! I’m not in LA though (might be there sometime in August but not 100% sure yet) but distance is nothing thanks to the internet 😉
True! I’m moving to LA this fall, that’s why I asked.
AMAZING!! I want you to do all of my book covers. Seriously…how much would you charge? I already have a theme in mind and everything.
Thank you!! :DD Well it all depends on the kind of illustration you need!
(sent this via my cell phone a couple of hours ago but see that it didn’t show up here…anyway) all of my books with one exception center around a female lead discovering her self-esteem / worth / confidence. While I like my current book covers, I’m looking to establish a brand so I want a more uniform, more easily identifiable covers. To that end, I’d like them all to feature a tree similar to the one in my business logo, a woman (representation of women of color in all their varying shades of brown – black), in a situation that relates to the plot. I don’t want the woman’s face to be clearly visible.
We should discuss this by email 🙂 Could you send me one through the contact page please? https://tallncurly.com/contact/
Will do.
Done.
Will answer soon! 🙂
These are GREAT!!!! 😀 I’ve been seeing these kinds of stylized drawings but I had no idea where it originated. Some of the renderings are AMAZING!!! And yours are no exception 😉
Thank you so much Kim! 😀 Long time no see!
Love it!! I love the Detangled One!! Amazing you go girl!!
Thank you Kandice!! :))
