begin by getting a good clear photograph of yourself (maybe take it digitally and print it on 8.5x11 paper). grid it up into a bunch of sections with a pencil and ruler (say 1" boxes or something). now draw the same grid on your drawing paper (either same scale or enlarge it). then turn your photo and paper upside down and recreate the drawing upside down. this is good because you don't think "ok i'm drawing an eye" and then it comes out looking like a generic eye. upside down, however, you think more abstractly: "ok i'm drawing simple shapes and lines." i promise this is the best way to get it to actually look like you...when you're 4/5 of the way done, flip your drawing and photo right side up and make corrections. (oh also, using the alphabet or numbers across the top and side of your grids can be helpful in finding the corresponding spot on your own drawing...counting boxes is annoying).

Good luck....a good portrait drawing requires 20 to 60 hours of work by an experienced artist...not too many are going to do that for free...LOL

So let's see if I have this right. You want someone out here, for whom you have done absolutely nothing, to drop what they're doing and draw a portrait of you. Oh wait, I forgot, the artist has to be really good, too. And of course the portrait has to be to your liking, so we must be willing to revise at your whim. And it probably needs to be delivered immediately, too, right?



Oh yes, it probably also has to be FREE. Well, why not? We're all here to serve Miss Sydney B, after all.



Has anyone ever called you a spoiled brat before? I don't blame them. Do your own work, the rest of us have to.

I'm not going to draw it for you but i can suggest an easy method to do it. Open the picture on your screen adjust your monitor screen to full brightness. Then place your paper on the screen and trace from there.
