Sunglasses Self Portrait Drawing

Now young students can learn how to draw sunglasses by starting with an easy template. Adding their own face behind it will give them some good practice, and provide a fun opportunity to get creative with whatever they choose to add inside the glasses. The dashed template for the glasses is included in the free download found below.

Be sure to point out to them that the face needs to look smaller than the rims, and not larger. In other words, the temples should not be seen, otherwise it will look like they just don’t fit very well. Students that start by drawing one complete oval all the way around the glasses will have what I used to call a “Charlie Brown” head, and it will look out of proportion until they correct it. (Spoken from experience.)
