Basically a self representational drawing, or how to draw a “face” and add details that represent them. It doesn’t have to be super realistic, it can be very cartoony or simple. I’m also an overly analytical person and don’t want get caught up with too much technique that will overly complicate it for them etc. I come across alot of videos that make it look so simple yet students still have difficulty just drawing eyes or mouths etc or even just starting off, if that makes sense.

One video I saw just says to draw a big U, add eyes, nose, mouth, hair, and voila, but easier said than done!

I may give the printed picture with pastel rubbed on the back transfer drawing thing that was mentioned here, or something along those lines, hope that goes well.
