Art Two - Blog 2 - Self Portraits


Watch the short video.  Natalia Stefanek creates a very realistic portrait drawing of Derren Brown.  He starts with a sketch that is shown at the 30 second mark.  This is the stage to work out proportions.  It looks like he has traced and transferred his own sketch onto the drawing paper and then completed it using a variety of pencil grades.

Please note - I have changed the grading policy regarding daily grades.  All blog assignments will count as ONE Project grade.  You will start at 110, and points will be deducted for missing blog assignments (this will allow for one to drop).  Please also remember that you have a Clean Up grade that counts the same way.  You begin with a 100, and I deduct points for a mess that you leave for me to clean up. 
In other words, there are no daily grades - only project grades.  Please let your parents know this, and have them contact me if they have any questions.

  3. This is so amazing! It looks so real! I love drawing people. And seeing how long it took just working on the eyes itself takes hard work and a lot of detail.
