I recently redrew my profile's Avatar picture to be more simple and easily recognizable. It is directly taken from my previous drawing in which I drew Gio as small as possible (in pixel art) while still being easily recognizable as Gio, and then manually upscaling said low resolution pixel art drawing in a side by side picture showing the original low resolution pixel art on the left, the same drawing doubled in size in middle with more detail, and then the final high resolution, low polygon, drawing on the right, which is four (4) times the size of the middle image, and eight (8) times the size of the first, low resolution, image. The resulting "high resolution" drawing is a crude low polygon 2D rendering of Gio that looks like it might've been drawn in the 80s using the then new digital drawing tools.
I also wanted to try (and do) something different, so I drew a cube in perspective around my Avatar picture on Microsoft Paint, since I've never drew a picture with a 3D element before in it. I thought it would be cool to combine 2D and (faux) 3D in the same picture since this is supposed to be a gallery piece in my art gallery. As usual, I tinted the image in a shade of brown. I used 25% Brown (Red, 32, and Green, 16) at 50% Luminescence - the Red, Green, and Blue, or RGB, values, divided by 2, and then 32 added to Red and 16 added to Green for each color in the image)
I drew the picture using Microsoft Paint (the Windows XP version and the Windows 11 Version, but mainly on the XP version, and used the 11 Version to create a screen blur effect by resizing the image 500% to its current size from double its original size). For those that don't know, there is a glitch in the new Microsoft Paint that blurs images when resizing the canvas. It is useful for recreating a screen blur effect if you are aware of it (like I am), but otherwise, it'll ruin your artwork or image if you resize the canvas without knowing about this "feature" of the new Microsoft Paint in Windows 11.
