LazyDaisy Jan 2018 4:35pm, 6 Jan 2018 21,059 posts	0 LazyDaisy I woke up in the middle of the night worrying that VP would think I was taking the mickey of the sketcheveryone idea I really hope he doesn't think that - as you can see, I can't even draw a straight line and it's a great idea. It will be really interesting to see what artistically talented Fetchies produce. I sat for a portrait class for a term nearly thirty years ago, and it's not easy to draw or paint someone, especially someone like me who has a nondescript face. (Not false modesty.) One of the artists 'did' me in charcoal and gave me the finished portrait. He was actually pretty good, but even so it's been rolled up in the back of a wardrobe ever since!

I've long accepted that once you put your ideas out there that some people will just take the mick (which is how you get mainstream cases like Boaty McBoatface). If it gets people invested and encourages them to have a go then I'm on board. To be completely honest, I really wanted to see BanjoBax do an eggcup face, even though I specifically asked for 2D pictures in my blog.
