Self-Portraits: • Use the grid method to draw your face • Apply the drawing techniques we have covered to create a life-like face with shading • Use the background to add in details which are expressive of you

Applying the Grid: • Grid off your photo using 1” by 1” squares – The grid must be done precisely to prevent distortion • Grid off your drawing paper using 1. 5” by 1. 5” squares – Draw the squares lightly to prevent waffling • Note that you will have left over squares, and will need to adjust accordingly • You must erase the grid before you begin shading

Use the grid system like a map; it is similar to graphing the slope of a line or a parabola in your math 1. 5” x 1. 5” grid class. 1” x 1” grid 1 A 1 B 2 A Photo 1 A 1 B 2 A Paper 1 C 3 A 3 A 1 C
