• Closely observe and accurately draw eyes, focusing on shape, proportion, and detail.
• Experiment with different media (e.g., pencil, charcoal, ink, pastels) to explore various techniques for shading, texture, and expression.
• Draw noses with attention to structure, form, and shading to create a sense of depth.
• Use different media to explore how each technique affects the rendering of light, shadow, and surface texture.
• Observe and capture the unique shapes and expressions of mouths.
• Experiment with various techniques (e.g., blending, cross-hatching) in different media to effectively convey lips, teeth, and shading.
• Draw the complex shapes and contours of ears with accurate proportions.
• Explore different media to practice capturing texture and form, particularly the subtle curves and shadows of the ear.
• Learn to combine individual features (eyes, nose, mouth, ears) into a cohesive and balanced portrait.
• Proportion and alignment of facial features to ensure accuracy in the overall facial structure.
