Description: I have another cool meme for all you internet meme and rage comic fans. Since uploading the 'You Don't Say' meme, I wanted to make a tutorial based on another very popular one that is well recognized for its hysterical nature. Today I will show you "how to draw Yao Ming meme", step by step. The meme face is based on the actual professional Chinese basketball player that played or plays for the Houston Rockets. The internet meme of Yao Ming is often used in a manner to dismiss someone elses input or opinion during discussions online. This meme is definetly used as a reaction face, and will remain one of the popular internet memes. The face of Yao Ming is actually based on what he looked like as he was laughing during an interview in May of 2009. In 2010, artist 'downlow' submitted the contour drawing of Yao Ming to Reddit. He had no idea that the image would blow up the way it did, but here it is today. I had a lot of fun making this lesson because it made me laugh when I was drawing out the mouth and eyes. I think you too will have fun recreating a Yao Ming meme of your own that you can actually use in the future. That's it, peace out and let the games begin!
