Portrait
Last class we created a 2 inch grid on our papers and portraits and took pictures.
- Draw the outline around the edge of your face and head, including your hair, clothes, and ears.
MOUTH
Add a 1 inch grid in the area of the mouth on the drawing paper and a 1/2 inch grid on your picture. Grid even smaller for best results.
Add mouth lines including upper and lower lip lines. Draw the teeth very lightly if you can see them. Pay attention to where the lip lines cross the grid lines
NOSE
Add a 1 inch grid in the area of the mouth on the drawing paper and a 1/2 inch grid on your picture. Grid even smaller for best results.
Draw the nose lobes and nostrils. DO NOT outline the upper part of the nose. You will shade this later.

Drawing in Proportion - Find the Unit of Measure
Today we will begin to learn the skills we need make a realistic drawing.
First we need to make a drawing that is in Proportion, meaning that the top and sides are in the correct ratio to each other.
Use your pencil and thumb to measure a distance on the object. This is called the Unit of Measure.
First we need to make a drawing that is in Proportion, meaning that the top and sides are in the correct ratio to each other.
Use your pencil and thumb to measure a distance on the object. This is called the Unit of Measure.
Then use the unit of Measure to find out how tall the tube is. Drop your pencil and thumb down the length of the tube and count how many widths you find.
1 width
2 widths
..and the tube is almost 3 widths tall.
