For today’s task, we would like you to create a self-portrait. The following slides will show you how to draw a face. Remember to share your work on SharePoint.

Step 1

Draw a faint oval. You will go back over this later after you

have drawn the hair.

Step 2

Mark some very faint guide lines with a pencil and ruler.

Step 3

Draw the eyes.

Step 4

Draw the nose.

Step 5

Draw the mouth.

Step 6

Draw the eyebrows.

Step 7

Draw the ears.

Step 8

Draw the hair.

Step 9

Go over the lines of the oval that isn't covered by hair. Erase the faint guide lines and the oval

lines that are covered by hair.

Step 10

Colour in the face. Don't forget to add the pupils in the eyes and any freckles or other details on

the face.
