Do you think I'd be doxxing myself if I traced one of my self-photos and used that tracing as my profile picture? (lemmy.ml)

What do you think doxxing is?

That's not doxxing, that's just revealing who you are.

To answer the premise: it would depend on how detailed the tracing is. If you think a friend could tell it was you without being prompted about which of their friends it looks like, then I'd say it will reveal you.
