Use a camera to take a high resolution picture showing only your face. Make sure the picture is good because you'll need it later. You'll need it because it'll be your key to what you are trying to draw.
Print out the picture.
Gather your supplies. You will need a clean piece of paper, a sharpened pencil (not a mechanical one), a big eraser, and a felt tip pen. Also, don't forget to keep the photo by your side while you are drawing.
Draw an oval in pencil. It should be standing up (not sideways) and be about the size of the head in your picture.
Lightly sketch guidelines for the eyes. The space between the eyes should be about two times the size of the eyes.
Create a curved line over the top guideline, then a curved line under the bottom one.
Draw a slanted line for the nose.
Make a line for the mouth.
Try to draw hair. Use close together lines not chunky blocks of color. Hair should have a little sway to it; try to make your hairstyle like that.
Draw two curved lines for the neck.
Create the eyes. Draw a large circle in between the two curved lines on both the eyes and draw two shines in them (just two circles: one large, one small).
Trace over every line with the felt pen. Then, after the ink dries, erase everything so it is all cleaned up and looks nice. Compare your photo to your drawing. It should look very similar.
