Pen Portrait 1

Objective
To improve line drawing skills.
To create a single illustration for the song lyrics book.
Task
- Choose a page and choose an image that you wish to use. A portrait would be best for this. If not then use an object from your list.
- Print it off in black and white—A5 size but on an A4 sheet
- Using layout paper (or printer paper if you are on a lightbox) trace the image.
- Then have another go—but do it freehand.
- Look again at the image above—the artist has drawn only the lines, block tone and details—no shading.
- Use a dark felt tip for the thick lines and a biro, fineliner or pencil.

Presentation
Photograph (preferred) or scan to your blog.
