COMMUNITY ART CHALLENGE: NUMBER 3

GUYZZZ amazing work on the last challenge.

Today’s challenge is to: DO A MICROSOFT PAINT SELF-PORTRAIT and write one of your signature strengths at the bottom!

 

List of signature strengths here

 

For me body image has been something I have struggled with for quite a while, and although I’m slowly coming to terms with it, it is something that I still have to work on and remember to challenge on a regular basis. So, I think it’s important that we stop sometimes to look at the positive parts of ourselves and recognise our strengths (inside and out)!

 

So, while you’re creating your avatar, remember to: Give your body some love!
Focus on your positive qualities, skills and talents and what your body can do rather than on how you look. The body is amazing; appreciating and respecting all the things it can do will help you to feel more positive about it.

@Bee i think there is heaps of artistic talent hidden in yours. if i move my computer screen i can see the different shades you put into the neck and forehead - and even the hair has different depths to it. i love it! even if you don't 😛

This challenge reminds me of the app, French Girls. Has anyone here used it? You take selfies and then strangers draw you (or you can just draw selfies taken by strangers). It's odd but really funny.

Ummm, can I just say that everyone here is amazingly artistically creative? I'm so jealous! Haha. Looking at all the uploads so far I was llike "I bet I could totally do that". Nope, no I can't, haha. Also @Billy-RO @j95 I think it's a good thing you left off eyebrows! Mine make my self-portrait look evil (even if they are totally on point!).

p.s I've been spelling it 'curiousity' the whole time. I only realised it was spelt 'curiosity' because of the spreadsheet @lanejane linked us. I've been living a lie!

I gave it a good three, four goes but I just couldn't get it. I absolutely hated the way it turned out so... I improvised. After all, it's where my username came from. (Nightwing is the first Robin's new identity. And Robin is Batman's sidekick. And if you don't know who Batman is, google him :))

 

I really don't like using Windows Paint, especially on a computer. With just a trackpad.
