GRID DRAWING WORKSHEETS:

  • This is set of 8 worksheets takes students through the process of drawing on a grid. They progressively get harder as you move through the set. It starts with simple line drawings that are pre-labelled, then has students label the grid themselves, then has students use photographic reference. On the photographic reference sheets, students identify the contour lines, draw the subject and then add value to create the illusion of 3-dimensions on a flat surface.

FACIAL PROPORTIONS:

  • Take students step-by step with worksheets provided and the powerpoint on how to draw the basic facial proportions.

SELF-PORTRAIT:

  • Finally have students apply the knowledge they’ve learned through observational drawing, grids, and facial structure using a photographic reference to create their self-portraits.
