Process of creating an avatar for social media or blog use

Using an avatar to represent your persona, which while it may be close to your real looks still provides a degree of identity protection is a great way to show yourself online.

With social media profile photos often embarrassingly poor, and therefore showing people who you are in less than a desirable light, the case for using a custom caricature as an avatar is quite strong.

Here we show the process, from photo to final art as done by artist Brian who also does other caricature work

Step 1 - Photo

Step 2 - pencil sketch

Step 3 - final avatar
