Abstract Self Portrait Drawing

Why make an Abstract Self Portrait?

Do your students need more face drawing practice, but you dread the overthinking that is so common when it comes to drawing eyes? Or if they draw them, do they tend to turn out on the tiny side?This super simple tutorial will avoid all that as it has a kind of formula for drawing eyes extra large. Not to worry though, there’s still lots of places for their own personalization. If fact, my PDF even shares some examples of how to draw different kinds of hair, to help them get started.When the drawing is done, the drawing will have lots of closed shapes that are just begging to be filled with lots of different, bright colors. Try challenging students to keep any color from touching itself, and see what kind of abstract magic happens.
