there's also the cool idealized fantasy sona where the sona wears the clothes you want but dont have, usually a demon or fantastical being. There's two sides of this one though, there's the fully rendered amazing peices you have of the sona and then the silly simplified blobs in the corners of your sketchbook. It makes draawing yourself a lot more fun (in my experience dont know if this is a common one)

Give it a few weeks and I feel like it doesn't fit me anymore. Just the mere act of creating a Sona hurts my insides and makes me cringe. A lot of people create sona's as a form of self inserts. And I think that messes me up. Because I generally find them super cringy too. Naturally, I'm a very expressive person in real life. Very colorful, full of ideas, youthful, feminine,but simultaneously I can be very dark and deep. I can't translate this into a image. So I eventually just give up and use a black shadow of a woman, or some animal. But it's just a simple way of me saying. I can't relate to an actual person to represent me. I don't stick to any one image.

Drawing myself helped me learn to love myself. I was able to see myself from the perspective of an artist rather than just from my own general perspective. Usually I would dramatize my own features, making them bigger or smaller or adding new piercings or hairstyles I wanted. Eventually I started drawing myself more accurately to my actual figure. I started to pay attention to my individual features and the way my body is built up of individual shapes and such, it helped me build the confidence I desperately needed as a teen.

I feel like the segment about Disney Princess-like Sonas fits perfectly with Superhero/Protagonist-type Sonas. Just like you said, these types of sonas often stem from young artists who are trying to envision their future self, the accomplishments they want to strive for, the shortcomings they want to make up for, and most importantly the fantasy that they want to turn into reality. For me, personally, I've always idolized superheroes, and have always wanted to be one. So, naturally, ever since I could draw, I've had this image of myself as a hero that everyone could count on. I wanted to be someone that wasn't shamed for his differences but was instead appreciated for them. Just like Spider-Man, and the Hulk, I wanted to be someone that was strong enough to keep going even if people thought the worst of me. I wanted to be someone who could proudly call themselves a good person without a shred of doubt. I feel like you really hit the nail on the head on the types of wishfulfillment, and insecurities an artist who draws such an idealized version of themself might have.

I tend to draw myself as an idealized me, and my sonas for various fandoms share a lot of my features. Eye colours ranging from brown to green because I have hazel eyes, glasses if I feel like drawing them, and comfy sweaters that I like to wear. I only really deviate from this if my sona is made for a show or something that expressly has magic, in which case I’ll give myself pink or purple hair. More often than not these colours will end up exclusively being a feature from a magical transformation because I really do love my hair colour. I like to think that I’m very comfortable with myself and the way I draw my sonas reflect how I feel.

I forgot to add - I think there is a kind of persona you missed that's very unlike the others. It's when an artist draws themselves in an emphasizedly 'wholesome' not cute kind of way but rather overly friendly cereal mascot way. Unfortunately, I noticed that such sonas usually belong to people who are rather shady in real life, for various reasons.

The way I draw myself is closest to the first one. My sona actually started as a way to make fun of myself a little, not necessarily in a self-deprecating way, but in a sort of silly self-aware way. I know I act a little weird sometimes, but I love myself for it! Over time, it became a consistent sona, and I like to make short comics with them sometimes. I also added more features and changed the art style a bit over time. I wish I could show a picture lol

I'm most like the "Disney"-style one, I've always enjoyed drawing myself to be slightly idealized and it would be something I'd grow to gain, kind of like a way of telling myself "We like this, we want to be this. Lets put the effort in and become this", but I have also always made myself more mystical, kind of like how you said there will be bits in the design that are similar to media you (I'd) enjoyed. Most of the time my self-sona was like a witch, or "half demon" (which was honestly a little cringe), and as of most recent I make my self-sona to be half crystal, to kind of get that fun recognizable characteristic as if it's a separate character from my actual self. Drawing as a kid, as you and others may know can be a struggle. I knew kids who would struggle and give up, those who were instantly amazing, and those who would take years just to get good at drawing portraits. And I wish everyone knew that anyone can draw, some can do it easy but not everyone and that's okay. It's okay if it takes a while, practice makes perfect. As a teacher I had in high school once said "To do better, you must fail faster. You must make mistakes, and you will to get better at what you do." Failure is but a stepping stone to success

It’s so funny cuz he seems so deadbeat and also denji-like in his self portrayals. For myself, I remember drawing this picture I use as my profile picture now, I painted her for the first time while testing colors and liked her so much I decided I wanted to be her and hence started a 3 year obsession. I draw much better now but that first piece still remains my profile picture in many places, I’ve drawn her so many times that drawing her takes no effort from me, I just know what goes where innately. I wish it was the same for my other ocs. It’s a strange obsession but it’s not too harmful other than whenever I accidentally draw her face when trying to draw other women since I tend to not draw women often and the ones I do draw end up looking masculine.

i always loved drawing my persona/selfsona! i always made each sona iteration close to what i resemble IRL but with things that i like or resemble my interests at that time, such as giving myself rabbit ears (cause i love rabbits), a plant sprout on my head (originally as an inside joke to myself where i'd see people give their sonas that little "aesthetic" sprout on their head and gave a comically large one to myself to parody that but it ended up being a main staple design of my sona), and pink eyes (resembling my love for pink & personal growth), etc. but otherwise, it's neat to see that with every redesign I make to my selfsona it's like watching me grow up since I always liked to keep the appearance, interests and identity based on my own at the current time :))

I do a mix of the very first (blob), and fourth (idealized version) *Blob* is for when I want to make fun of myself, and romanticize my issues. Usually, it starts out with me being upset and ends with me being absolutely delighted by this little critter I've drawn. 100% androgynous. No thoughts, no gender, only silly. *Idealized* is for when I'm imagining a hopeful future and how I might look once I get the treatment i need. These make me feel many things at once, rapidly going from hope to despair and back. They have more realistic proportions and I put more effort into the vibe they give off to me. In the end, they either end up as my profile picture for months, or get discarded in the "I need a couple months before I can look at this again" pile. 100% androgynous but in a gender kind of way. No silly. But the selfsona I WANT is just a little monster guy. No thinking about my disability or transition needed when drawing him. Just a little guy.

My Sona is partially made from how OTHER people perceived me at the time as opposed to myself. But only partially. There used to be a challenge where you ask your audience to describe a character trait by trait from the impression you give off online and with your art, and the base things such as species, color palette and general style of my Sona were described from that. I definitely had most control over her so I integrated a loooot of my actual traits for her, but honestly she's kinda a lil more like an OC that is extremely close to how I identify in personality and feel like, has same interests and everything, but looks nothing like me and that I use as a stand-in for myself! I do also occasionally do an actual self-portrait but stylized, but it's usually just something done out of curiosity or the desire to compare my Sona to how I actually look :D
