Drawing a Self-Portrait
Practice proportion in this art lesson: drawing a self-portrait.
What You'll Learn
Study your reflection in a mirror and draw what you see. Notice the proportions of your face: eyes are roughly halfway down the head, and the mouth is between the nose and chin. Use light lines first, then add detail and shading.
