My Self Portrait
DESCRIPTION
This was a very interesting and new thing for me to do
It was very new and exciting as I usually preferred doing anime art and not realism
This tracing helped me recognise my own features, as well as the shadows and contour.
Outline after Tracing
DESCRIPTION
This tracing made me more aware of my facial features such as
my general face shape, interocular distance, nose length, lip
shape and eye shape that I did not pay much attention to before.
I got a better understanding of my own face but to be honest it looks kind of creepy in this tracing haha

Cutting the pieces
DESCRIPTION
This part was extremely tedious as while it was easy to draw & cut the pieces of my features, doing it repeatedly required a certain amount of patience as I needed to cut out every small piece. Through this, I aknowledged that in order to create a good piece of art, I needed patience.

Praise and Polish:
Praise: I feel that i did well being able to do my work faster than usual and still submit quality work, and made interesting designs for the hair and outfit with my creativity
I also felt satisfied that i was able to incorporate my favourite cartoon character, My Melody and Kuromi into one of my hair designs. It was also very fun to make my hair into different styles, i had an enjoyable time making a messy style and a neat style
Polish: However, I think i can improve on better cutting and more different materials for my hair and final product. I could also work on being more patient, such as not starting before everyone else because of my own excitement, as i missed out some crucial steps my teacher went through, such as cutting out my paper face and labelling it for easier classification. There was a more efficient way to go about my pasting of features, and i don't have to do everything my own way without listening to instructions.
