White-Hair Ink Portrait — Grade 3
Make a drawing on paper of refined original portrait using pale hair shapes, dark costume, and red eye accents supported by gesture studies, a material test, and a visible revision. Practice movement using drawing marks only. Choose your own details and arrangement.
Study the example for possibilities, then close or cover it. Your work should make different choices.
What to do

- Lightly place the main shapes on the final paper. Pause to compare their positions and sizes before drawing small details.
