Evidence: Booklet Activity 1 — Basic Portrait Drawing (Introduction Exercises) — Summary

Key Points

• The activity comprises four progressively timed portrait drawings (20 minutes, 10 minutes, 5 minutes, and 1 minute) followed by reflections on what was difficult and how results could be improved.
• The central challenge identified is preserving correct proportions and facial shapes under increasing time pressure, which leads to hurried placement of features such as the eyes, nose, and mouth and a less accurate overall visage.
• Proposed strategies for improvement include practicing gesture drawing and quick sketching to train the eye for essential shapes and proportions, simplifying the face into basic geometric forms before adding details, and regularly working under time constraints to build speed, accuracy, and confidence when drawing under pressure.
