Portrait Drawings (click to view photos)

• Faces are so individual yet they all have about the same proportions. Grade 9 learners put their talents to work to draw either a self portrait or a portrait of a classmate. They first discussed the basic proportions and ratios of the face and drew a light grid to build their drawings on. Using mirrors for self portraits, or posing for each other they begen to sketch. Within no time the faces began to emerge. With a few more lines and much shading the faces soon appeared.
