Single Line Portrait Drawing
For this activity all you need is a sheet of A4 paper, a mirror (if you are drawing yourself) and a pencil or pen.
To do this activity properly, you are not allowed to lift your pencil off the paper once you have started. However, you are allowed to draw over the top of lines you have already drawn – it is quite tricky! I drew myself in the mirror and I drew my husband.
I challenge all the staff and pupils to do this. Top tip: start down the middle of your face (I started with my eyebrow).
This was really tricky Mrs Madden, I kept taking my pencil off of the paper by accident!!
WOW!!! I really like your drawing Mrs Madden.Do you think you can teach me?
Thank you Mena – that’s very kind. I have seen your drawings and they are very good already.
Do we get to see the results Miss Brockie-Donald?
