# Crayon Self

Redraws you as if a charming but untalented 4-year-old grabbed their crayons and did their absolute best: wobbly uneven outlines, colour scribbled outside the lines, hilariously wrong proportions, maybe your name misspelled in shaky child handwriting — on notebook paper with visible waxy crayon texture. Still recognisably you.

## When to use it

Use when the user wants a deliberately bad, ugly-cute, childlike drawing of themselves — phrases like "draw me badly", "like a 4 year old drew it", "crayon drawing of me", "ugly cute", "MS Paint me", "scribble me", "make it look terrible", "kindergarten portrait", "kid drawing", or "deliberately bad". For a polished hand-drawn avatar, use doodle-avatar instead. For sticker sheets, use sticker-pack.

## How to run it

- Open [Doodle AI](https://doodleai.art/) and attach a photo.
- Ask for it by name — "Crayon Self" — or let the agent pick it from your request.
- Refine in plain language afterwards: "thicker outline", "warmer paper".
