Welcome to the Draw Each Other thread for 2010. If you're unfamiliar with the previous portrait thread, you can view it here in all its arty goodness.
The concept is simple. Post a photo of yourself, and the rest of us will render your portrait in any style that amuses us. Last year's efforts included pencil and ink drawings, painted portraits on canvas, a large variety of digital art, and even some tiny sculpted busts.
1) Photos from the Open Mic and Self Portrait threads are not for drawing. Please limit your artistic efforts to photos posted on this thread.
2) If you're new and haven't read The Rules, go and do so before posting. It may save you from having the mods descend on you like the banshees of Hell, and more importantly it'll save the rest of us from having the thread closed.
@Newspaperdrone: Anyone can submit a picture to this thread, knowing that it becomes fodder for the artists here to use to draw from.
If you have art skills, we would love to see you take a crack at drawing someone's picture posted to this thread, but you are not obligated to participate. Many people who are not artists post great photos here, so as this thread gets underway, you'll see a wider range of great photos to be inspired (or horrified) by. There are people on these boards who do awesome athletic things, dance, pose, dress up cool, and sometimes show their naughty bits, so if you're an artist, you will soon have a wealth of imagery to choose from.
