Contour drawing of my self portrait
(Week 2)
In today's lesson, I outlined my face and learnt to draw shadows around them. It was hard at first, as I did not know how to draw. But, I managed to after being resilient. However, I could have added more shadows to add more flavour.
Blueprint of my contour drawing
(Week 3)
In today's lesson, i traced out my face and the shadows on a new piece of paper. I managed to do it quite quickly, which was good. It was hard as the paper kept moving and i was afraid that i would trade wrongly.
Traced + Cut Portrait Features - Faciography
(Week 4)
On today's lesson, i traced out my facial features on the cardboard and cut it out. I wanted to give up at times, but i persevered on. It was really hard to cut out the facial features as the cardboard was hard and bended at wrong places sometimes.

(Week 6)
On today's lesson, I pasted all of my facial features onto my face. It was a really easy thing to do and it felt satisfying to see the result. However, I felt that i could have done better by cutting the shapes properly.

REFLECTION - PRAISE & POLISH
PRAISE - It has been a very long process. I managed to finish my cardboard portrait in time, and I managed to finish the things that I had to do each week efficiently. This project taught me many things such as patience, resilience, and never giving up. I originally thought that it would have been really difficult for me to do all of these and finish on time, and I am really shocked that i was able to. I am really glad that I was able to overcome my challenges.
POLISH - There were some things that I thought I could have done better, such as cutting the things properly and actually adding more nicer details to light up my work. My work lacked a bit of details, which made it look more plain that I originally wanted it to be. If i have an opportunity to improve, I would definitely add more details and do it much better next time.
