Creating a monochromatic painted portrait through shape, colour and tone.

Complete a self portrait grid drawing. If you are struggling to remember how to do this follow the link below.(Remember however you are not enlarging your drawing. Both your photo and your drawing are A4 therefore the measurements on the photo and the sketchbook are exactly the same.)

Pick your favourite colour and paint one section, then a make a tint of this colour by adding a small bit of white and paint the next slice, keep doing this until you reach the palest shade of your favourite colour. So you should have one row of your favourite colour progressively lighter. If you are not at the end of the row when you reach your lightest tint then get the reverse effect by making your tints getting progressively darker till you reach back to your favourite colour.
In the next section do the same but this time create a shade by adding black so your favourite colour is getting progressively darker. TIP you only need a tiny bit of black each time, too much will make too dark too quickly!!
