There was a thread on here a while ago talking the concept of Artists subconsciously drawing people that look similar to themselves. What was it Called?

The example in that thread was a side-by-side picture of a Warhammer 40k artist and a character in the game.

What was the Name for that and are there any other artist like this?

Whoa, her face doesn't match the plane of her head. She looks kinda lopsided.
And I'm not talking about the drawing.

this is absolute bullshit once you reach some semblance of skill. if you paint more than 10 pieces the likelyhood that any one of them is going to look like you diminishes significantly, even more so if they are different genders and races

>black artist decides to do a year long project on a fantasy war between Russian and Japanese future soldiers

literally none of the characters if drawn correctly are going to look like the guy. who comes up with this shit

no need to get upset at this very basic fact of life
you are most familiar with your own face
it's no suprise some of that familiarity seeps into your paintings, make the eyes a little too far apart or too close - little things like that

Its probably more common that artists will stick to drawing certain physical features on their characters. Roman noses, cervine legs, stubble, etc.

I don't think I look like muh memes necessarily. I use my face for reference on all of them tho and they're all dirty and lazy and smell bad. I smell like my art.

A lot of artists draw by referencing, and artists are the only model accessible to themselves 24/7. There is no need to explain this via psychobabble when it's a matter of practicality.

It's not the same one, but I'm pretty sure GW's Andy Chambers was the inspiration for this chainsword-wielding badass.

John Howe uses himself as reference a lot, especially when painting Gandalf or dwarves. I'm sure other artists do too, or they learned too much from self portraits.

People always tell me every character I draw looks like me, so I am making a conscious effort to try and differentiate facial features

Problem is that I am very generic looking, like every "protagonist" type character.
