Create a caricature or likeness of yourself

This is my version of me. Did another but it was more of a cartoon of me which I did not like. The version shown still does not get the age right.

I took a break from the project I've been working on the last few days and made a caricature.

Well I had a go, and I figured that if I couldn't do a good caricature, then I'd
just do something wierd.
Well I couldn't so here is wierd.
TimS I really like your caricature.

Thanks, Steve, great idea and love your own caricature. I've been wanting to make one of myself for some time now, but didn't know how to do it simply. Your directions worked great.
I followed them to the T, except did not use vector brushes to colorize, simply used flat fills.
I used a mouse only (don't have a tablet) and added no shading, though might do that at a later date.
While this wasn't hard at all, and quite fun, I don't see how to do the next step - to draw my own caricature in different positions. "Tracing" the photo let me know where lines should go, drawing in different positions/actions would mean I would have to know where those lines should go, on my own - like the lines of facial expressions or fabric folds - and this is where I would be lost.
