You can start with two pieces of 15"x20" illustration board and cut 3“ from
the bottom (preferred) or you can begin with an over-sized piece of mat board
and trim it down to two 15"x17" boards. Next, you should lightly draw an 9"x12"
Take one of your black and white photographs and draw a grid on it. Your
grid should divide the picture into fourths, so in effect, you will end up
with sixteen rectangles. By dividing your portrait into smaller pieces,
you should be able to manage the proportions of your head as you draw it
on both pieces of your 15"x17" board. Use contour lines only to illustrate
yourself on one board, with the other, choose between cross-hatching and
cross-contour. Cover with tracing paper.
