after we received our portrait, we had to trace out the different parts of our portrait (e.g. eyes, eyebrows) based on the lighting. initially, i felt a bit weird as it was my first time drawing on my own portrait. however, i got used to it after some time and found it pretty interesting !! besides that, i faced some problems when i was drawing the facial features as it was quite difficult to identify the shadows. parts of my eyebrows were also covered by my hair so it was harder for me to locate the shape of my eyebrows.

after outlining the portrait, we were given a carbon paper to do the contour outline blueprint. we had to place the carbon paper between an a4 paper and our own portrait before tracing the portrait all over again. this was pretty easy as we just had to copy everything down. however, i still had to be really careful when drawing as the mistakes made cannot be erased. in the end, some parts still turned out weird as some of the lines were crooked. 

we had to place the carbon paper between a carboard and our own portrait before tracing the portrait again. however, my face shape turned out weird as i did not cut it properly. then, we also had to trace out the facial features with 3 different shades of brown based on the shadows. although, it was a little messy when i was labeling the features as some overlapped, it was still quite fun !!
