History Main / FourthWallPortrait

* In issue #9 of the ''[[ComicBook/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicIDW My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic]]'' series, Big Macintosh is presented a caricature of himself, drawn as a realistic horse rather than the cartoon style, by the pony-sona of the book's artist in the role of the caricature artist. Big Macintosh declines buying the artwork.
* Towards the end of ''ComicBook/{{Maus}}'', main character Vladek's wife receives a picture of him confirming he is still alive. In an interesting twist on this trope, the photo is actually the real-life photo of Vladek Spiegelman (the author's father). This is very jarring considering he has been shown only as a stylised mouse for the rest of the story.
* Inverted on an alternate cover of ''Comicbook/TheFlintstones'' #1, showing Fred taking a selfie of himself and Wilma. As in the book, the characters are drawn in a relatively realistic style, but the camera-bird is drawing them as they appear in [[WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones the cartoon]].

* [[http://starslip.com/2008/01/31/starslip-number-708/ This]] strip of ''Webcomic/{{Starslip}}'', where the characters ridicule court sketches.
* [[http://doctorcatmd.com/2011-06-03/doctor-cat-art-critic This]] ''Webcomic/DoctorCat'', though it's closer than others.

* In the school yearbook in ''Webcomic/KevinAndKell'', the FunnyAnimal students look "[[https://www.kevinandkell.com/2004/kk0425.html stiff and formal]].

** Squidward is surprised at how [=SpongeBob=] is able to draw a perfect circle. When he asks how he did it, [=SpongeBob=] shows how he starts with a realistic human head, then gradually erases the features until he is left with a circle. Live-action humans actually do exist in the [=SpongeBob=] universe, so this may not qualify as a FourthWallPortrait.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'': When the Warner siblings met Creator/PabloPicasso, they played a game of Pictionary. The Warners drew in a cubist style and guessed it right every time, while Picasso criticized them for not knowing how to draw. But when he drew the same objects in a realistic fashion, the Warners were stumped. Eventually, a dealer saw the Warners' drawings, mistook them for Picasso's, and bought them.
