Learn how to draw a cocky portrait for kids that was inspired by a fun new children's volume "The King of Kindergarten". Calculation a crown actually makes information technology a bit easier to practise!

Learning how to draw a self portrait, or any portrait, is one of those central building blocks of cartoon. Getting the features all in place, with some approximation of proportion, takes exercise and most young artists will need some time and practice before drawing faces gets any easier for them.

Fortunately, I've plant a wonderful book that both targets young students, but adds a crown theme that I think helps the drawing process. It's chosen "The King of Kindergarten" and would make a great intro to the lesson, as a immature boy learns the ropes of school life.

My tutorial asks students to draw the crown first, so they can skip the office that often stumbles them up the most, namely making a large oval. Round shapes are some of the trickiest to primary when starting out, and then I know simply too well how many can get frustrated with this starting point.
