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
