Why draw a Cartoon Self Portrait?
When students learn how to draw a cartoon self portrait, they can practice merging some simple cartoon drawing techniques with their own unique look. Cartoon drawing is all about capturing features and expressions with just a few lines. Eyes become big ovals, mouths are just two curves with a flash of teeth, and bodies are simplified and small so the emphasis can be on the face. If students start with that kind of framework, and then add their own hair and clothes, they can express themselves in a whole new way!
