Today we looked at the self-portrait. We have been slowly building up to this moment over the weeks, and today we had fun drawing our own self-portrait using a combination of mirrors and photographs whilst experimenting with different techniques, methods and media.
We learned about the average measurements of a face and looked to see how those measurements played out on our own faces. We decided that we could potentially use these measurements as a rough guide to help us start our self-portraits and also to check our proportions when we were struggling. We also decided that we did not have to use these measurements and that they are only one way to go about drawing a self-portrait.
We also did blind and non-blind continuous line drawings. Some of us drew the images from the brief for extra portrait practice. Well done, everyone, on your great work today, you did really well every one of you.
