Replica Cookies of Real Life People

I just did a cookie face of a real person (and I'm no artist!). I found a couple websites that turn a photograph into a drawing or cartoon and that really helped me simplify the face enough to be able to paint it.

Hope this helps!

Hi Lucky Penny,

Sorry I am only now seeing this- it was an epic fail (attached it below) but at least I know what I did wrong and now have an excuse to practice! 

I know what it's like when you have a vision in your head of what you want to achieve, and when it doesn't turn out exactly right it's disappointing.

However, as someone who has no idea what your original vision looked like, I think the cookie turned out great!  It definitely looks like Florence.  Especially if this is the first time you have attempted something like this.  Well done!

By the way, I have total hair envy after seeing that photo.

That looks great to me!

Wow, I think the cookie came out really nice, especially for a first attempt! I tried doing Pilgrims last month, a man and a woman, and the woman came out looking like a drag queen she was so bad. Instead of naming my blog post "Pilgrim Cookies" I actually called it "The Pilgrim and the Drag Queen"! LOL...I'm new too and most of my cookies don't come out the way I initially envision them so you're not alone. You should be very proud of that cookie! I'm sure your son loved it and loved the fact that his mom did that for him.

I forgot to add, this is another site where you can upload a photo and turn it into a pencil sketch which you can then save and email to yourself.

I think you did a really nice job! I know the feeling of disappointment when a cookie you had in your head doesn't turn out the way you expected...I love the links that Lucky Penny recommended...I'll have to try those out...my hubby's birthday is coming up...maybe I'll cookiefy him! lol!!
