[[File:fourthwallportrait.gif|link=Cigarro
Works drawn in a simplistic or cartoonish style may feature a piece of art, often including a person, drawn in what we would consider a much more detailed or realistic style. Almost invariably, some character will remark on how unrealistic that art is, or how bad the artist's grasp of anatomy must be—why would anyone give people ''[[Four-Fingered Hands|five fingers]]''?
Largely a subtrope of [[Stylistic Self Parody]].
{{examples}}
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* Parodied in the anime version of ''[[Shaman King]]'', where a member of the [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]] makes a portrait of one robber in a 70's [[Shojo]] style (a style more detailed than the cartoony [[Shonen]] of the series - but not by much). And two of the heroes (besides the artist) are the only ones who see the portrait and the aforementioned robber and confirm the likeness.

* The ''[[South Park]]'' "Free Willzyx" featured forensic sketches of the main characters [https://web.archive.org/web/20100208125239/http://www.southparkstudios.com/media/wallpaper//913_Composite_Sketch_1280x1024.jpg in a realistic style]. Of course, when those sketches were shown to residents of the town, nobody could recognize who they were supposed to be of.
** Though one woman thought Cartman looked like [[Dakota Fanning]].
* A scene from ''[[The Simpsons]]'' in which Homer worries that his children could turn into "hideous freaks, with pink skin and five fingers on each hand", followed by a shot of Bart, Lisa, and Maggie in a more 'realistic' cartoon style than usual, plays a slight twist on the same basic joke.
