Where does the “Draw Yourself” meme come from?
The template originated from the F@NBOY$ forum, created by a user named LaxJeff2002. It was a simple neutral stick figure design. The phenomenon took off on 4chan, specifically in the /co/ board. A friend of Jeff shared the initial template there. The community immediately adopted the concept. Over 250 variations were generated quickly. This practice fits into a lineage of stylized self-portraits popular in the early 2000s. It recalls challenges like 'Draw Yourself as a South Park Character'. The Know Your Meme entry dates to November 2010, confirming the major surge occurred in 2009. Exact dates for the first 4chan publication remain unknown.
