Tips for Making Line Art Portraits
1. Choose your portrait. There are twelve total, a mixture of men, women and even one child.
Print a template page for each student.
2. Print the guide pages that will best help your students with their drawing.
The full size samples are easy for the entire class to see, or the single page works as a great
handout to keep on their desk.

3. Students start by drawing the main shapes of their portrait with a pencil. They need the
basic outline of the hair, clothes, and any accessories. IMPORTANT: The shapes need to be
closed, so they may be filled with different patterns.
4. The main shapes are traced with a regular tip black marker. The goal is to have nice thick
lines that will stand apart from the following thin pattern lines. Erase any extra pencil lines
before going to the final step.
5. Use a fine tip marker to fill in each closed shape with a different pattern. It’s best to just
draw them free hand with the pen (no pencil planning) to keep things moving along. No
need to rush though, the best results come from having lots and lots of lines.
