Colored comic-me
Aaand here's a little colored comic-me:
I started the sketch with light blue, and then each time I wanted to refine it or change something I used a darker and redder color so it would stick out (yes, I take the shotgun approach to sketches -- the right line is in there somewhere, I swear!). By the time I got to dark red/purple it was a sketch I liked, and I just went with variants on that for shading.
...and THEN I realised that I was fast approaching mauve, which happens to relate to the screenname I picked for fandom schtuffs, so I left it.

It's really fascinating to see what someone else takes as 'the important bits.' Thank you!
Seeing this makes me think I went too plump on the far cheek, for sure.
I also really like your comic eyes. I don't think I've ever mentioned that to you...
EDIT: Also, it's interesting to note that there's always a discrepancy between 'how I'd draw myself as I think I am' and 'how I actually look.' Like listening to your own voice recorded.
