Today, we drew out outlined the different features and shadows on our face. Although it looks odd, it was interesting looking at my face in a different perspective.

Today, we traced the outline of our face onto a drawing board by placing a sheet of graphite beneath our original photo and tracing the outline over the graphite as that allows the graphite to imprint on the drawing board.

Today, we traced out our features on cardboard and I found it to be a fun experience as I managed to discover little details of my face that I never noticed.

I felt like assembling the face was the hardest as I had to figure out how to place my glasses and it was a bit tedious to cut out the glasses. However, the hair backing was rather simple and I managed to finish it quickly.

I was a bit confused when it came to the hair due to the fact that I had long hair when I took my photograph but I had cut my hair over the September holidays so when it came time to make my hair, I was in a dilemma on whether I should do long hair like in my photograph or short hair which was my current hair.

I was not very happy with how this looked at first but due to the lack of time, I had to move on and looking back at it, although I think I could have done better, I like it a lot more.

I was rather pleased with how my work turned out and I like how my shirt looks like it has different layers instead just being flat.
