1. Pick a Person’s Face to Paint or Draw.
You can make this portrait a painting or drawing, as long as you have bright colors! Remember, a portrait is an image of someone’s face. Choose the face that you want to paint or draw- This could be a photograph, a person to sit in front of you, or a mirror to draw of yourself (a self-portrait).

2. Turn Paper Vertical.
Remember, vertical is turning it tall instead of wide. This is the “portrait orientation” of your paper.

3. Sketch The Head, Neck, and Shoulders.
Lightly, with a pencil, sketch out the head, neck, and shoulders. You want this portrait to fill your paper. First, the head shape. Lightly, with a pencil, sketch out an oval head shape almost as big as your paper. Then, a neck at the bottom, and have your neck connect to the bottom of the paper with shoulders.

4. Draw the Face.
Then, the rest of the face. Lightly, with a pencil, draw the eyes, nose, mouth, ears, hair, and eyebrows. Be sure to check out the video lesson guidance to remind yourself how to sketch out the face. Do the best that you can.

5. Fill with Vibrant Color!
Make this portrait filled with vibrant, bright, bold, unrealistic colors. Make the skin blue, the hair green, the eyes 5 different colors, or whatever colors you want! Go wild with the color- this is Expressive Color!
