At Budding Artists, we love portraits especially when created by our children. There are so many different ways of drawing a portrait. As kids get older, I would show them how to draw a face using appropriate proportions. Check out Deep Space Sparkle’s portrait guides.  Patty Palmer’s lessons are great and worth the cost.

This is a collage version of me when my child was 7 years old. I love the double eyes and eyelashes.

This one was done when she was a bit older and she was playing around with liquid watercolours and a straw.  

Do you have a portrait of yourself? For ideas on creating portraits, check out our Pinterest board collection.
