One of the most popular art genres through time, portraiture, Rembrandt takes the lead with 100 self-portraits including 40 paintings, 31 etchings, and seven drawings.  Of Frida Kahlo's 143 paintings, 55 of them were self-portraits.  Van Gogh painted 30 portraits of himself.  Within his 75-year career as an artist, Picasso also painted 30 portraits of himself.

Practice shading and the Element of Value, to create the illusion of depth.  Apply that skill to practice drawing facial features: eyes, noses, mouths, and ears, and put them together to create a self-portrait.

As a Gray Whale Census Biologist and Biological Illustrator I look closely, observe, and transfer what I see onto a two-dimensional surface.  The more we look deeply, the more we notice, the more information we can transfer and express.  Apply the Elements, Line, Shape, Value, and Texture to Draw what you see.  Use a magnified glass and your power of observation to draw natural objects.
