Toon Me & Dolly Parton Challenge

Hopping on that #toonme bandwagon! The purpose of this challenge is to choose your selfie and draw half of your face in your style (you can also add a white line between the photo and the drawing or use any other effect). I'm not sure who the author is, it was suddenly all over my news feed.

I'm not comfortable with revealing my face on any social media, so this was an interesting way to cheat on that "rule". In fact, by doing this and seeing some other examples, I concluded I look similar to any other plus size hobbyist/artist with beard and glasses. Apparently, there's quite a number of us here. 😁

These days there's another meme or challenge on social media, so-called #dollypartonchallenge, so I used some of my avatars to create my own meme.

My questionable hairstyles

When it comes to my looks, I've definitely had my share of questionable choices. I've been cutting my own hair for many years now and sometimes I experimented with styles and even colours. Sometimes it depended on my curiosity, sometimes on trends. Or simply put - I wanted to try out some things while I still have my hair. 😁 So, while I was drawing my new avatar for "Art vs Artist" challenge, I came up with an interesting idea - I made two more versions of it, with different hairstyles and here is their story. 😉

The first drawing is for my current haircut. I know it's not that unusual, but it's dangerously close to becoming more "hipstery". 😂 When it was shorter, it was pretty complicated to get different stages of fade, but now I let the top part grow and cut only sides and back. I usually wear beard (although I shave it completely once or twice a year) and I try to keep it short or at least not too long.

And the third style logically followed the second. If the previous one was bold, this one was - bald! 😂 Bad pun, sorry... In fact, it was time to return to work after a vacation, so I had to get rid of blonde hair. I shaved it completely off and also trimmed my beard to some reasonable length.

So, what do you think about my style experiments? What kind of haircut do you prefer? Do you cut your own hair?
