Creating our portraits

Dion and Ella explain how our beautiful portraits were created...

First we did a quick sketch of the person across from us. They were on an angle so it was easy to draw the nose. When we were sketching our teacher took some pictures of us on an angle. They got printed on to an A4 piece of paper and then we sketched all the detail onto an A3 piece of paper. Then it got photo copied and we got a sharpie and copied the lines and did a little bit of shading. We looked on the photo and found all the bits with light on it and used white crayon on the sketch to show the light. We chose light green, blue and dark green or red, orange and yellow dye and coloured them.
