Amazing Anime Self-Portraits

BIG eyes, BIG sparkle, 
BIG personality!

smallSHOP Inspired By Anime
Ages 6-12

 smallSHOP artists took inspiration

 from Japanese anime drawing styles

 to create their own vibrant and zany self-portraits.

We love how these portraits truly capture

 their fun loving personalities!

We practiced drawing faces in anime style -

BIG eyes with bright highlights

and SUPER expressive features...

smallSHOP artists drew big and painted on large canvases.

The results are amazing self-portraits

that show off how lovely these kids are

inside and out!

These portraits have POP and will be positively treasured.

Have fun creating!

Always,

smallSHOP

Preschool Art Workshop

2 hours + 6 kids = these sweet portraits. 

This is what we did today. 

We hope that you did something fun too!

Always, 

Sage and smallSHOP

A few good men and one little lady

smallSHOP artists like to do different styles of self portraits. 

Here we used oil pastels and acrylic paints. 

We talked about different angles: profile, 3/4 and frontal. 

We discussed proportion and blending colors. 

And as always we encouraged the young artists to express themselves. 

I love self portraits. 

They truly are a treasure. 

Enjoy.

SmallSHOP kids face it.
