Putting It All Together
Today you are going to create your final self-portrait masterpiece! You will use everything you have learned:
Step 1: Draw your face shape. Big oval in the center of the paper. Light guide lines for eyes, nose, and mouth.
Step 2: Draw your eyes on the middle line. Add irises in your eye color, black pupils with white highlights, eyebrows, and eyelashes.
Step 3: Draw your nose between the eye line and chin line.
Step 4: Draw your mouth. Are you smiling? Making a silly face? Looking serious? You choose your expression!
Step 5: Add ears on the sides.
Step 6: Draw your hair. Match your real hairstyle β the texture, length, and style.
Step 7: Color your skin, hair, eyes, and lips with the right colors.
Step 8: Add your special details β freckles, glasses, dimples, or anything else that is part of your look.
Get a mirror and look at yourself carefully before you start. Study your face like an artist studies their subject!
