This homework assignment asks students to create a portrait drawing of someone from life using proper proportions and shading techniques. It provides three levels of criteria involving use of space, proportions, likeness, shading, and textures. Level 6, the highest level, expects a drawing with good proportions and likeness, a range of tones shown through different marks, and textures to depict features like skin and hair. Guidelines are then given for planning proportions, including using ovals and lines to indicate placement of eyes, nose, mouth, hairline, and symmetry.
Homework 2 draw a portrait
- 1. Year 7 homework: Create a portrait of someone from ‘life’. Show that you have used the rules of proportion and tone to create a realistic drawing. Level 4: Level 5: Level 6: Full use of the page. Good shading that shows contrast between light and dark areas (shadows) Good proportions i.e. features (eyes, ears, etc..) are in the correct position. Not only is there a good use of proportion but there is a good likeness and character (Ask a relative/friend to see if they recognise who the drawing is of) Good proportion, a good likeness and a range of tones. Different textures (skin, hair etc) are shown through different marks. Plan your drawing first- Here is a recap of how to plan your proportions: •First off, start by drawing an oval or egg-shape. •Draw a straight line across, at about half way down the face, to indicate where the eyes will be. Divide this line into five. •Draw a line about half way between the eye line and the bottom of the chin - this will be the bottom of the nose. •Draw a line about half way between the nose line and the chin - this indicates the placement of the mouth. •Draw a line halfway between the eyeline and top of the oval. This is a good guide for the hairline. •Draw a line right down the center of the head, top to bottom. This is used to make sure the face is drawn symmetrically, and not lopsided. •The centre of the eyes usually line up with the outside of the mouth.
