BIG HEAd POrtRAits

I just love these "big head" portraits middle school artists created of each other; they all show so much character on the part of the artist and of the sitter. We were inspired by the gorgeous sketchbook portraits of French illustrator Lapin who infuses ordinary people and everyday things with great character by drawing with direct observation and an exquisite line quality.These portraits were done in 20 minute sessions while students posed for each other, after we had practiced some blind contour drawing exercises and studied facial proportions.  Students were challenged to draw directly on to the paper with a permanent marker pen while closely observing the contour lines of their model.   The figure was permitted to be included after the portraits were complete allowing for some quirky proportion in the figure and the "big heads."
