Emma Majury:
Hi. How do you see yourself? Well, now's your chance to show people because I'm going to show you how to draw a self-portrait using lots of different techniques and materials. Let's start with looking at what we're going to need. I have got some drawing pencils,some colouring pencils, oil pastels, chalk pastels, charcoaland some inking pens. You might not need all of these,but you're definitely going to need enough mirrors for everyoneand lots of paper.

First thing we need to do is decide what view you're going to draw of yourself. You can look at yourself straighton or you can turn slightly to the side but still lookingat the mirror. This is called a three-quarters view and you might find thiseasier to draw. To begin with,we're going to draw an outline, so no detail, just an outline of the shape of your head. Don't worry if you take a few goes at this.

Now we need to add the detail. So, start by looking where your eyes, your nose and your mouth are positioned. You can even talk about it out loud. In my view, my eyes are both on the same side of my head. If you need a guide to help get the features in the right place, you can try this - draw three stripes across the head. Your eyes are in the middle of the middle stripe...
..your mouth is in the middleof the bottom stripe...
..and your nose is in betweenthe eyes and above the mouth.

When your outline is finished, take a look at the light and shadows on your face. On my face, there's a lot of light on my fringe, on my nose and there's shadows underneath my eyes, underneath my nose and underneath my chin. Although my hair is all the same colour, it's lighter at the top where the light hits it and darker at the ends. A great way to practise showing this is using white chalk on dark paper. It helps you see where the lightest bits are. Try to notice the different textures of your skin, hair and clothes. You can show this by using differenttechniques and materials.

For instance, my hair is curly, so I'm going to use the side of this brown chalk pastel to put in big, swirly curls. How might you show the texture of a knitted sweater or a crisp white shirt? My collar is lace, so I'm going to put that in now. Take a close look at your skin, too, and the way the light reflects off it. Try different media and effects to show this. Once you've done your firstself-portrait, there are lots of other types of drawing you can try too.

Change your point of view. If you've already done a three-quarters view portrait, then look straight onand try a full-face portrait. Or change your materials. We've been using pencils and chalk, so why not try pen and ink or perhaps using blackand white instead of colour? Why not try drawing someone else? Learn to look at their features. They may be very different from yours. And there's more to who you are than your face. Why not try drawing something that means something to you, for instance yourschool or the area where you live? Or even try a still life of a sport or a hobby that you're interested in. And that's it for this video.I hope it's inspired you.

Portrait techniques

Holbein always made highly detailed pencil drawings of his portrait subjects, often supplemented with ink and colored chalk. The drawings emphasize facial detail and usually did not include the hands; clothing was only indicated schematically. The outlines of these drawings were then transferred onto the support for the final painting using tiny holes in the paper through which powdered charcoal was transmitted; in later years Holbein used a kind of carbon paper. The final paintings thus had the same scale as the original drawings. Although the drawings were made as studies for paintings, they stand on their own as independent, finely wrought works of art.

He painted a few, superb, portrait miniatures, having been taught the art by Lucas Horenbout, a Flemish illuminator who was also a court artist of Henry. Horenbout painted Holbein in perhaps his best miniature, and the best portrait we have of Holbein, who never made a self-portrait (illustration).

David Hockney has speculated in the Hockney-Falco thesis that Holbein used a concave mirror to project an image of the subject onto the drawing surface. The image was then traced. However this thesis has not met with general acceptance from art historians.

A subtle ability to render character may be noted in Holbein's work, as can be seen in his portraits of Thomas Cromwell, Desiderius Erasmus, and Henry VIII. The end results are convincing as definitive images of the subjects' appearance and personality. (From Wikipedia)
