The Picrew TikTok trend is another way to play with avatars. Basically, people utilize the Picrew website to create avatars that they then sharing on the TikTok platform. 

However, while you may already have your own Picrew avatar (they've been pretty popular for a while), the Picrew trend that's currently popular on TikTok is all about comparing how you see yourself with how your friends see you. Basically, you create your own avatar, then you ask a friend (or your significant other) to create one that captures how they see you.

Next, select the “Girl Maker” or “OC Maker” options, as these are two of the most popular options TikTokers have been using. Then, you’ll need to go through all the steps to customize the avatar to your liking. You’ll be able to play with the eye shape, skin complexion, hairstyle choice, clothes, and other options.
