I outlined my facial features on my printed photograph. I also had to carefully outline the highlights and shadows on my face. I found this activity interesting as this was my first time analysing the details on my face.

In order to get this sketch, i had to put carbon paper in between a blank piece of paper and my photograph. I had to be very paitient and careful as I could not erase any of the errors that I made. I had to add some lines in my hair so that it would not look too empty. However, it turned out looking strange.

I had to repeat last week's procedure but instead of using a blank piece of paper, I used cardboard. I had to apply slightly more pressure on my outlines as the cardboard was thicker. I think that the face turned out a little lopsided.

I had to trace out my different facial features using carbon paper again.  I had to make sure that everything was accurate, so that the end product will not turn out too imprecise.

I had to cut out my facial features and stick it on the face carboard. I needed to paste it within my sketch on the face. However, as i was cutting, I realised that I had traced my facial features on a different colour tone. Therefore, when i create my highlights and shadows, I will have to find an even contrasting tone to add it on the cardboard.

I had to create the frame of my glasses and stick it on the face. It was challenging to cut out the hair piece as I had to carefully outline the face shape properly. 

I used a different type of cardboard, with a stripe design for my hair pieces. I made many pieces to create the hair shape. 

I had to stick all the hair pieces on the hair frame. The hair frame fits onto the cardboard face.

After assembling all the cradboard together, this is the final look. I used  velvro to attach all the pieces together so that the whole piece would be more stable.
