1. Contour Outline of my photograph (Week 2)

In today's class, we learnt how to do a contour outline drawing of a photograph and I felt that it was quite fun as well as enriching due to being able to strengthen skills while also learning new things.

 2. Blueprint of my Contour Drawing (Week 3)

In today's class, we learnt how to do a contour outline blueprint of a photograph. I felt it was difficult for me to able to trace out the lines properly without them disconnecting.

 3. Traced Portrait Features - Faciography (Week 4)

In today's class, we learnt how to trace out individual portrait features onto different types of cardboard and then cut them out to glue them onto the main cardboard body face. It was quite relaxing to individually trace out each feature and then cut them out in a precise way for different tones and shadows. It was generally quite a fun and engaging experience.

4.  Completed Face Assembling [Sub-assembled Portrait]

(Week 5)

In today’s class, we learnt how to assemble all the cut-out elements of the face and body into one portrait. However, I was only able to complete some parts of the portrait, such as most of the face, as I had run out of time. I had made use of the shadows, highlights and different skin tones/shades for the contrast and my portrait by assembling most of them onto the face but I still needed to assemble the glasses onto it along with the hair to complete the overall look with some finishing touches, hence the portrait only being sub-assembled. In general, it was a meticulous but relaxing activity.

5. Hair and Hair Frame [Sub-assembled Portrait 2]

(Week 6)

In today’s class, we continued to learn how to assemble cut-out elements into one portrait of myself, learning how to cut out and assemble the general shape of the hair today. I had to cut out the body again as I had glued the face onto the previous one. This picture shows what it looks like before being properly assembled. We are only going to be learning how to cut out the intricate designs of the hair in the next lesson, along with learning how to make the shirt/blouse design by cutting different uniquely coloured cardboard/paper. Overall, I feel it is going to look quite nice after completing everything.

(Week 6)

This picture shows what the portrait looks like after being properly assembled with the face, body and the general shape of the hair. It is now mostly-assembled except for the glasses, intricate designs of the hair and the shirt/blouse design.
