Self-Portraits


One of the hardest things for beginning artists to produce is a self-portrait. The are many steps in learning how to render the face correctly and we will start the process by looking at generic facial features. With a knowledge of shading and how to recognize where the light and dark areas are a more realistic drawing can be made.

We will use both mirrors and pictures to create 2 self-portraits. One will be made with pencil or charcoal (your choice) and the second will be a funky version of your face using a variety of shape and colors to represent that will come together to represent your face.

Take a look at the handout to learn more.
