Okay, here's something that I've learned from tracing over the pictures in magazines when I really should have been paying attention in art class: If you trace over the picture with a thick sharpie, and then paint in the lines, you can make the picture look like a cartoon. So, I traced a picture of myself ( the same one on my profile) in MSpaint, and this is what I got....

If you like it, YAY! if not, now you know how to make yourself look like a cartoon.
(the picture is alot fuzzier than it was when I did it, so some of the lines and colors turned out to look a bit disorted)
