Realistic Self Portraits Project Drawing Yourself to the Best of Your Ability

11. 12. 2019 Day 1 of 3 Self-Portraits Try to get everything outlined today – face shape, eye shape, nose shape, lip shape, ears, could outline hair – wait to shade till you have a single light source photo and change to black & white • We will be starting our self-portraits today • You will have 3 class periods on this project(today, Thursday and due at the end of class Monday – if you need extra time on it you can take it home for home work) • Project Expectations: • Accurate proportions: the face shape – 2/3 s width from height • • Eyes – 1/5 spacing between edge of face, eyes, and between nose Eyes- half way down on the face Nose – half way between eyes and chin Lips(middle of lips) – half way between nose and chin • Face shape is your face shape, same goes for your eyes, ears, lip, and nose • Shading is accurate – one light source photo (you can take this today if you’d like to work from a photo instead of a mirror) • Try your best! The only way YOU can improve is if you try your best every time, also ASK(always seek knowledge) for help if you need it
