drawing self portraits

another tip is Start with a simple sketch. You need to start somewhere for the project so just start with the outline of the face and with a little sketch

one tip when drawing self portraits is Setting up a comfortable work space. Doing this helps a lot because when you are spending all of that time drawing you want to be comfortable and not feel weird and uncomfortable while drawing

another tip and is to take a picture of your self with your phone first and then start drawing your face off of the picture

another tip is to Add shadows and smudge them when doing this the self portrait will look more real after it's done and it will also look very creative and realistic

things that went right

I expected this project to be a lot easier but then I realized it was too hard to draw my project so I decided to do this and if I I would have to do this again I would definitely choose a topic that I could stick with and do

I figured out how to do my project in another way instead of drawing

I got my project done in time to present

things that I would do nextime

It took alittle longer then i thought it would

I would definitely think before I chose I topic

I would maybe research more ways of doing this project instead of drawing or doing a coggel

  1. Draw the shape of your head but without any hair

2.Halfway from the top of the head to the chin draw a line make sure to draw the line neatly

3.Draw a vertical line down the center of the head

4.Halfway from the line for the eyes to the chin draw a short line be sure it is lined up with the vertical line

  1. Slightly above the half point between the nose and the chin draw a line for the mouth

6.Draw two curves on the line for the eyes be sure these curves are far enough apart for another curve to be drawn between them

  1. Look over the various eyes use the curves drawn in number 6 for the top of these eyes chose a nose use the line for the nose in figure 6 for the bottom of the nose you chose. Choose a mouth, use the line for the mouth in illustration 6 for the line between the upper and lower lip. For the nose and mouth be sure they are lined up with the center line going down the middle of the face
  1. Now draw the rest of the head. When drawing the hair the head shapes first drawn was the skull. The hair should go both above and below the skull line. Erase all extra lines.
