12 stroke paint job... A tag!

For those of you using Microsoft Windows as your operating system, you should have a program called 'Paint'.

(A little lost?: Click Start, All Programs, Accessories and look down your list of programs for Paint)

Now those of you who've been following Rambler, and wondering just how he draws all them there hearts over his pictures, I've have just revealed his secret weapon. It's a fun little tool, but boy is it tricky drawing with your mouse... So much so I thought I'd make a tag of it!

Here's how it works....

We've all seen each others profile pictures, no? Now's the time to do a self portrait from the picture.

Rules:
Using no more than 12 'paint' strokes, draw yourself, and yes it can be done!!
(Clearly) You sohouldn't fret too much if it's not picture perfect - but if you're realy apalled by your attempt at a line, press CTRL+Z to clear the line you've just drawn and try again.
"Save As" the picture as a .JPEG (if you want to be using a smaller file - it defaults as a bitmap)
Load up the photo of yourself and your painting side by side, so we can all see how you fared.
Spread the love and tag 5 people.



And now, without further adue, here's me and my slightly aged self - LOL:


The Photo

and... The Masterpiece



My tagee's are:

Rambler (the inspiration), The Running Golfer (just 'cause you love 'em so much), Allie ('cause I just loved you handbag-tag and you love playing along), Shiny ('cause you are one of the most entertaining writers I've ever read, next to Rambler, of course), and Mel-B (before it gets 'jacked' anyway- hehe)

Have fun y'all

And just incase you don't believe it can be done, I used:
(1) 1 for my entire face outline , (2) 1 for my nose and 'dimple', (3 &4) 1 each for the outline of the eyes, (5, 6, 7 & 8) 1 (airbrush stroke) each for the eyebrows and eyes, (9) one for the lips, (10) one for the neck and (11) one for the shoulder and there's one spare for those of you with hair. :0>
